Review of AMD 64 using Windows 64 bit?

[Sideswipe001]

Can I put in a request for this? At least there are beta versions of the OS out there (see the thread about where you can download this). I for one am curious what compatability problems there might be, as well as speed differences.

Does Anand have plans on doing this anytime soon?

It's beta, so I wouldn't expect a review anytime soon, but I'm sure that someone that downloads it would run some benchmarks (I'll run them if I get drivers for all of my core hardware, which will be sketchy on a laptop).

You have an A64 lappy?

Yeah, eMachines M6805. Specs in rig profile.

Don't you still need 64 bit software? So the benches would have to be 64bit (do they have this?)?

Yeah, there's a 64 bit version of SiSoft Sandra out there, but that's about as far as it goes IIRC.

I got to find my 3rd hard drive around here somewhere but I'll be more than happy to give it a whirl and run the Sandra stuff and if anyone knows of other 64-bit benchmarks just put a link here.

Why not try some 32 bit software and see if it's affected at all?

Just installed it, Opera seems to work fine, now to test some other stuff.
