    Greetings,
    I have a Compaq R4035ca with an Athlon 64bit processor and would like to try out a 64bit OS. Originally I heard that Windows XP 64bit edition was disaster but that was just hearsay. Has anyone actually tried it out and how does it work? Also has anyone use a 64bit Linux distro on the R4035? If so how did it run?

    Thank you in advance for any replys,
    Bryan

    I think it is for power users and people who would like to spend the time to make it work.
