    Hi jsimmons,

    Why do you ask ? What's the "problem", can you be more specific ?

    I don't have 64-bit XP but i've heard and i know that Windows XP 64-bit dosen't have drivers for alot of things, for example: M-Audio which is a profy sound card dosen't work on XP 64-bit.

    Well, I don't have a problem yet because I haven't tried installing it. I just wanted to see if anyone else was running it on their 5716. I haven't been able to find motherboard chipset drivers for XP64.
