My only concern is that the cost of buying the final finished product - the current XP pro edition is something like £150 atm and was well over £200 when it first came out, but that said, I am very curious about what a difference in performance this would have over win2k pro.

I'm sure there will be solutions! :-D

Piracy is bad, mmkay? :sealed:

I believe he was pointing to an official microsoft site for the beta download.  I found it on my own actually, but thanks for the link.  I just need to figure out how to buy an A64 and mobo..

I though the usual approach was to walk into a shop and ask for one... But I'm not sure how you do it over there :-D

I tried that but they didn't have a clue what I was talking about.






Still, it was a greengrocers....

arf!

When one has money, I'm absolutely sure that's the case.  I however haven't any so unless I want to run the gauntlet and end up "in the pokey" as it were, my conquest for 64 bits will simply have to wait.

On the bright side, buying one will be cheaper in the future.  On the not-so-bright side, there will always be a faster one available later to tempt me.

@ Wayne

You go to a greengrocers for your computer parts? Nice!

America must be a strange and wonderful place indeed, where sellers of fruit and veg also sell AMD64 computers ;-)

That was clearly my mistake, then. I forgot I was in the UK :-(

Happens quite a lot these days. Must be that new Campbell's Soup I bought recently...

It's amazing what you can buy in those traditional Asian grocers these days isn't it! ;-)

I can hear it now:
"I'll have a tin of baked beans, a packet of condoms (ribbed, for her pleasure!;-)), a toilet plunger and an nForce4, dual channel, socket 939 Athlon64 motherboard n'processor please... oh and some toilet roll, cheers"

The guy at my local cash'n'carry (great places for fresh fruit/veg/meat/anything you need for a good curry etc.) has the most delightful greeting.

It goes "Hello Please!"

Sounds like he might be related to the bloke who runs my local offy. His post transactional phrase is always "Thankyou please" :-D

It's a good thing - the bloke at the shop never fails to make me smile with that one :-)
