[SPEEDingMoNK]

ok so i guess i missed something i have a MSI Neo w/ NForce3 250gb and a Athlon 64 3000+

I also have XP Pro 64 BIT and a 32 bit OS

I have the "drivers + utilitys CD" that came w/ my Neo

now thew problems are, getting the OS, Drivers, and APPs synked up

Now i need 32 bit drivers for the 32 Bit OS and 64 for the 64 bit OS rite?

Im going to sett up a dual boot in a few min but i dont realy need to at all since i cant play ut 2k3 on the 64bit OS untill thay release the 64bit UT2k4 correct? I was looking around for a few but i didnt see any info at unrealtournament.com about the 64 bit version.

Now the drivers CD that came w/ my MB realy hasnt dont much at all for me I can get Either OS 32 or 64 to detect my ethernet port wihich is almost if not worse than not being able to play games on it yet. Does that CD have 64 or 32 bit drivers on it i have been looking around but i wasnt able to tell realy anywhere ( CD manual...) having problems w/ the onboard audio. Its a pain in the arse i realy hope its played 2k3 and 2k4 like crazy and stays asbove 120fps... that would make up for the pain in the arse its been..

i downloaded 64 bit drivers for nvidia for my MB and Vid card but i cant play and games on it rite or is ut2k3 not running because of drivers or lack there of. Any advice or revferances would be helpfull thanx everyone

1. I assume you are talking about Windows-based operating systems. Right now there is a *beta* 64-bit version of Windows XP. I would not make this your primary operating system, as it is still in beta and not yet fully tested/stable.

2. 64-bit Windows drivers are few and far between (and also in beta status). Check the sticky thread at the top of this forum.

3. There aren't many 64-bit Windows apps, because 64-bit Windows is not readily available. Just be patient and stick with the 32-bit world for a while.

Yes, they will likely be 32-bit. You might want to download the latest versions from their website, anyway.

Well, the comment about not relying on WindowsXP 64 beta as your primary OS is right on, but I have been using SuSE 64 bit for quite a while now and it works very well. There is a misconception that the SuSE 64 bit pro is not available for free download, when in fact it is easy to download and set up, for free. Here is the link to a MINI HOW TO that I have written: http://forums.suselinuxsupport...dex.php?showtopic=3736
