I'm pretty happy with XP x64 its way faster, not perfect but I have been able to find the major drivers I want, and so far I have not found to many 32 bit apps that dont run just fine on it, althogh some have problems. there is a huge improvment in closeing apps that crashed, no wait time, just cuts em off, and does not caues the os to hang, Im not thrilled with IE x64 its nothing special and does not support all that x32 does (both are included.) It actualy had a very odd network problem, it at first would find the network (show a connectino) but not be able to comunicate (all latest drivers in router and for the onboard NIC) no matter what i did it showed conn. but would not talk, and my router would also show a link light but would not list as an attached device, ended up reseting my router to the default setup which fixed my new pc but all then other pc's lost connection (which was fine I just had to add em back into the network) I love the Duel core, XP x64 takes great advantage of it, I can install something fast wile playing a game with no problems or lag.

anyway what do ya think, whats a good game that will push my system? Got something better?
