    An interesting note.

    I downloaded and installed the Windows XP Professional 64-bit Trial from Microsoft and installed it on my Asus A6U. Well, it went okay, however, the ASUS drives were not designed for 64-Bit versions of Windows. Interseting.

    Just thought I'd share.

    There aren't many 64 bit drivers.

    One of the reasons why I think that purchasing a 64 bit processor at the moment is a bit of a waste - unless a sudden 64 bit software revolution happens when Vista gets released.
