**Paxi** · 02-08-2005, 02:59 AM

Has anybody already tried the the winxp64bit download?, iÂ´m downloading it now.. should be finished in 1h. I will set it up later than on my Seagate 120gb, which is empty at the moment

and report about it.
Report some infos if anybody has already tried it. Maybe there is also an improvement of performance.

Try and run the latest version of Sandra and let's know how it fairs.

**=[PULSAR]=** · 02-08-2005, 06:38 AM

Gonna have my friend burn it later today and give it a shot.

**Tube** · 02-08-2005, 11:08 AM

give us a report please!
thought about installing it but no free space in sight anywhere before I move all my files to my linux server.

Anyone know if this is xp64bit full version or service pack type add on for exisiting xp?

**Paxi** · 02-08-2005, 11:28 AM

so got some first infos now:
I have already set it up now. If you have downloaded the file, you have an iso-file. Burn this on a Cd, with Alcohol or Clone Cd. If you got the Cd finished, restart the PC and boot from the Cd. Its like a normal win xp installation. You can only choose the language english. ItÂ´s the finished version but it only works for 14 days.. so its a Trial version only to test the programm.
But i havenÂ´t testet more because now i need to download 64bit drivers @ nvidia.com, you cant install the normal drivers that are for example at the install disk from the Msi Neo2 board. You also need 64bit graphic drivers.
If i got everything downloaded and installed i will report more and also up some sreens. Because now its like the normal win xp, you can only run in 16 or 32bit, without 64bit drivers.

so particular to this question of course its a full winxp64 installation, with a cd like i already said.

**Paxi** · 02-08-2005, 03:05 PM

so.. i installed the 64 bit drivesr now:
first the nforce driver: 6.25 BETA Win64
than the graphic driver: 66.96 Win64
but the systems still runs on 32-Bit, i reinstalled the graphic drivers and the same 32-Bit. Than i installed Sandra the 64bit version. It worked but it looks like the normal 32-Bit Version too. I thought maybe there is an improvement in performance and run 3dmark05 but nothing.. The systems just still runs with 32-Bit.
Maybe there is an option in bios i have to activate first or i need some more drivers, but at the moment i have no idea. I will informate me about this and maybe set up again or try something else if i know more but maybe its also just better to wait ar the full normal version.
Anyway: Here are some pics:

From what I have heard its suppose to make a difference in SuperPI runs. See if theres a difference.

**Paxi** · 02-08-2005, 03:08 PM

k wait a moment but i think if the systems still runs with 32-Bit there is also no differnce.

**Paxi** · 02-08-2005, 03:12 PM

still 35secs...

**Paxi** · 02-08-2005, 03:31 PM

iÂ´ve found a review now @ http://www.gamepc.com/labs/view_cont...amd64xp&page=2.. and it just looks like me by them, it seems like you cant activate 64 bit in the graphic driver menu, i think the only improvement from the 64-Bit version is in games, that support 64-Bit like Stalker. I think also Far Cry supports it so i will install it maybe than and report some more, but i am not sure if farcry really support 64-Bit. Just a suggestion. Maybe somebody knows it 100%?

for 14 days... it's for testing, hence the rc-1 status.

**~~confuzzedintel~~** · 02-08-2005, 11:08 PM

ok i think i might download it and mess with it thanksnow can some one tell me where i can find some beta drivers for Nforce 3 chipset?

No...the reason why the 64 bit video wont work is becasue the DX driver is still now working correctly for ATI and Nvidia beta drivers...

I just gave the 1289 RC1 a shot a few hours ago also...its starting to get there...loaded up all my drivers except the realtek sound...it did see and install the driver for the realtek GB lan...which normal XP will not pick up untill the driver is installed...

Also...the latest NF3 drivers do work and do run under 64bit...non beta...but had better performance with the Nvidia beta driver...but only by 2 - 4%...using si sandra...

Hopefully the DX issue gets worked out very soon...either with a DX update or beta driver fix...then this should be a good OS

**Paxi** · 02-10-2005, 04:25 AM

jeah i was also told that it depends on the DirectX drivers, i also saw it because if i wanted to install DircectX9.0c, it says that the drivers are not compatible with my system... So we have to wait for the "right" DirectX drivers before it works and then there is maybe also an improvement of perfromance.

**~~confuzzedintel~~** · 02-10-2005, 01:12 PM

Well i must say it dose kinda suck as when i use the browser it skips : / so i think im going to give windows 2k3 server a try any word on if its better?

NVM installed beta video drivers skipping stoped

**=[PULSAR]=** · 02-11-2005, 08:40 PM

Okay well finally getting around to it I'm installing XP64 now read a couple more reviews on the 3d performance and it looks bad, but 2 days after the review ATI came out with newer drivers hopefully thatyll help. I'll post back with 3dmark comparisons.

**=[PULSAR]=** · 02-11-2005, 09:34 PM

Well just got done installing it and loading drivers. My Soundblaster ZS isnt 64 compatible yet...I guess. Screenshot

Downloading 3dmark05 now.

**reject** · 02-11-2005, 09:46 PM

looks like the same, i think the differeneces come when your processes support 64bit, then

will be a whole lot faster
a good test would to be wheteher th os is any more of a resource hog or not

**=[PULSAR]=** · 02-11-2005, 10:09 PM

Wells here the 3dmark03 run I did. 64bit was 377pts lower, the 64bit cpu scores are higher so looks like ATI just needs better 64bit support.

**=[PULSAR]=** · 02-11-2005, 10:24 PM

3DMark05, once again looks like 3dmarks suffer but improvement in the cpu score.

**Paxi** · 02-12-2005, 02:52 PM

weird.. i had not got any improvement in 2k5, but i will just wait for all 64bit drivers now that 64 version really works.
