How many times must I say NO to this topic, I went through a bunch of crap just to burn it to a disc, then when I installed it, it was a waste of time, it is NOT worth it yet, wait until more programs are coded for 64 bit and there are LESS bugs.

MAXX

Theres a SP3, HUMMM.

SP3 wont be out until like next year with the release of vista.

I've had it for 2 months or so, its quicker, more stable and more secure than 32bit windows.

What it doesn't have is as good driver support, so a lot of things simply wont work with it if they are specific or very old (e.g. generic 64bit drivers for say a dvd drive might be a bit flakey if its a very old drive, some specific hardware such as joysticks/bluetooth cards dont have generic drivers that work).

If you put it on now, when the first 64bit games comes out, you wont have to do a total new install to play around with them. I hear FEAR and quake4 will both be 64bit-ed through patches, though I dont know how acurate that is.



I cant seem to vote in the poll, but its a YES from me.
