Build 1218 ?

Thought final was 1830 ?

[Phemo]

Yes, final is build 1830. Build 1218 was post-RC2, ignore it, it's worthless now.

Also, it is XP x64 - if you notice, although the filename starts 'w2k3sp1', it ends in 'pro'. This is because x64 is based on Windows 2003 SP1 - the Pro indicates it is indeed XP x64.

[Pink Floyd Veteran]

damn, wasted around 3 min to download RC2 ;)

I'll wait for final then

Time for an Intel P4 64Bit. (Y)

I wonder how many 64-bit drivers are out now or are going to be released at launch. don't forget, you need a 64-bit driver to run in windows x64

[Nelsinho]

:( well then waiting yet I need change all my rig or I'm wrong! this history no ends never!!always te same thing remember when intel and microsofot changed all hardware/software software to 32 bits :angry: @win95 days :crazy:

[trance]

nvidia and ati drivers are out for x64... wireless drivers are not as good however... printer drivers, nope.. Use as much of the inbox ones as you can.

nice to know

[:: Lyon ::]

If the software are still in 32-bits (office, photoshop, etc), it wouldn't make a difference, right? eventhough I have an AMD64 and have Windows XP64 bit installed...

[ChopSuey]

Please note that MSDN only has the OEM versions and not the VLK versions. My work will hopefully get the VLK version since they use Win Xp Pro (32 bit) on all of their computers. Not sure when the VLK version will come out though.

Don't know why you are smiling. First of all, this is the OEM version, which will only last for 14 days (since you have to activate it).

[WAREZ Monkey]

There are ways around it...

[/WAREZ Monkey]

I think that there will also be a retail version.

Im waiting for 64 bit longhorn! :)

not 64 bit xp! :(

[TruBD]

ok so the 64bit os can run both 32bit and 64bit software but can only run on 64bit drivers?

[strekship]

Yes.

[smaulz]

Anyone know of any other sites to grab 64bit drivers? I've got a SiiG 680a chipset raid controller I need a driver for. The HDD I want to install on isn't found during install. :*(

[L3thal Veteran]

That's why you should wait until late April to install this. One month is good enough for companies to get drivers worked on.
