    Windows x64

    Im gunna try this for 6Months from the tral i downloaded. But, the thought suddenly struck me. If it needs all 64bit drivers what about things like mp3 players? I can get my GPU mobo drivers in 64bit but what about my printer?

    most MP3 players act as external hard disks - if yours doesn't, and needs separate drivers, i doubt there are xp x64 drivers yet.

    the gfx and mobo people have been very good on the driver front, there are drivers from via, sis, nvidia, etc

    printers, on the other hand, you're probably stuck.

    Well, i have an epson r300 and the epson site says there is a driver for it but the link must be invisable, so i emailed them, will report back later.

    I certainly hope that a large number of people jumping on the 64 bit trial bandwagon will make hardware mfr's speed up 64 bit driver development and hence increasing uptake of 64 bit XP.... win/win
