Microsoft Windows XP 64-bit goes gold | |

MSDN subscribers can download the new operating system straight away Microsoft have released to manufacturing the 64 bit edition of Windows XP Professional, which is going by the name of Windows XP Professional x64. This comes after two release candidates of the product were released for testing. MSDN subscribers can download the new operating system straight away, with the rest of the world having to wait until sometime in late April or early May until it is available to purchase. This is going to be great news for those users running the latest 64 bit chips, including the new Intel chips as well as the more common AMD Athlon 64 processors, as they will finally have an operating system that takes full advantage of their machines potential. Hopefully driver support for the new operating system will be good, to encourage users to start using it. |

I'm thinking about trying out my MSDN version on one of my dev systems (which is my only Athlon 64 system). Those of you with RC or beta experience care to comment?
Here's the candidate: Athlon 64 2800+ Abit NF8 nForce3 motherboard (NVidia) 1 GB memory SATA Raid supported via the motherboard* NVidia 6800 GT video card * This is the component I'm most concerned about. |

ch - you should be fine - and I think you'll like the performance - your machine specs are very close to mine - I'm running SATA RAID too and I was able to find a driver for it - but it was a beta driver - the one supplied with my mobo did not work
My specs: Athlon 64 3200+ Asus K8V SE Deluxe mobo 2 GB memory SATA Raid (2x 80GB) (hardware Raid onboard) ATI 9800 Radeon video card |
