SQLBaby,

Yeah, get your wallet/credit card out and order it, like NewEgg.com.

Actually, there are very few apps that currently run in 64 mode. Like most that you might use. They default to 32 bit mode emulation that mostly wipes out speed differences.

Driver for everything is also iffy. Easier if you purchase new stuff and insure that it has 64bit drivers.

Sooo musch work sooo little gain....at least for now.

SQLBaby,
Microsoft said:
The Windows XP Professional x64 Edition Technology Advancement Program concluded on July 31, 2005. Orders will be shipped by August 31, 2005.
Too late for this.
