Kev

I just ordered the XP64OS  trial for a year

Are you using it for Aces High?  Are there drivers for it? (AGP etc)

Or did you setup partition on HD?

Thanks in advance

Hi Hajo -
Drivers for the chipset and onboard devices come with the mobo CD. Better still goto mobo website and get the latest 64 bit drivers. VIA has 64 dirvers available also at http://www.viaarena.com

Vid card - nVidia available from their website.
-ATI as above but still beta.

Various 64 bit drivers are available from various sites eg http://www.planetamd64.com

Tried AH2 with XP64, seems smoother but took a very slight framerate hit. But that was using an ATI card, haven't tried it since getting my 6800GT.

Used a seperate partition and dual booted.

Hope this helps.

thanks Kev...I'm partitioned already with Win98SE and Win2KPro.....guess a third partition won't hurt

Tried reinstalling latest XP64 build. Unfortuneately I can't get hold of the RC1 version, I declined the option. So just using the latest XP64 build downloadable from Microsoft Customer Preview Program.
Will let you know how it goes with 6800GT.
