Shaga · Mar 30, 2005, 04:14 AM

I'm waiting for it..

EDIT: Not out until the first half of year 2005. http://www.pcworld.com/news/article/0,aid,117119,00.asp

it will be out before that according to anandtech it has gone gold today. read more at anandtech.com
so that means its out to producers today then and it could hit shelves within a month or so

HawgsHead · Mar 31, 2005, 01:36 PM

I just wonder how long it will take to ramp up the drivers.The OS is useless w/o the drivers.

mattwilco · Mar 31, 2005, 01:43 PM

theres lots of beta drivers out there all ready. and im sure intel and others will have theirs all ready once it actually hits the shelves

MitchRapp · Mar 31, 2005, 02:23 PM

soooo end of april huh.... anyone have an idea on the cost of this thing? or should i just start looking for it on torrents or something.......

Shaga · Mar 31, 2005, 03:27 PM

Only problem with drivers for me has been logitech drivers and creative drivers for sb live! 24bit, but don't use it anymore so no problems other than creative mouse drivers anymore.

And remember, new daemon tools hasn't yet been released and it will have 64bit base as well. No virtual cd programs yet for xp64bit. Just some usermade modifications for some iso tools, didn't work for me.

with 64 bit windows rolling out verr soon, and amd on the boat for years, with intel jumnping on this year.. I'd like you to Remember intel said they will not realease a 64bit CPU untill after 2006 and not will one be needed intill well into 2006!!!! Funny how quickly people for get thier marketing fluff and lies... just wan to make sure people notice this time

So youre running 64 NOW?I have an HP laptop I wanna convert.I dont need any SPECIAL video drivers.This rig has the AMD 3400+ CPU in it but it also has an nVIDIA 64 GO! GFX set up....I guess I would have to check with HP and see if they have a driver ready for it.You cant use ANYTHING but an HP/nVIDIA GFX driver for this thing.It really chaps my ass too!

I've been around testing windows xp 64bit from early betas, I'm a betatester! That's the reason why I have used it.

Works wonders, if you have one cpu eating thing doing it's evil work, another heavy prgram works much better than with 32bit os. It's nice.

but you want see much od a improvement untill drivers mature and 64bit programs are released

What I want to know is when will the RTM become avilable on private cahannels. IOt's allready be said that microsft is planning to make XP 64 bit free to current XP owners!

Shaga · Apr 1, 2005, 12:43 AM

Yeah, waiting for it

MitchRapp · Apr 1, 2005, 02:13 PM

Supposed to be a free download, Of course they charge you copying and shipping...

but i have no interest in the available beta's when the final is ready)

www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/64bit/default/mspx.....This site has the ordering info....NO NONO...that didnt work.Google it....Then click on to the 1st thing you see.That will take you there.

WinXP has been RTM, meaning "released to manufacturer". You can't expect that as soon as the OS has been stamped "Final", that you'll be receiving your copy on CD do you? You can download it via MSDN if you're a member.

Shaga · Apr 2, 2005, 05:18 PM

I heard one or two months ago that you can trade your win xp 32bit license to xp 64bit license free of charge.
