I recently upgraded my motherboard to Asus K8N-E
and an AMD Athlon 64 3000 processor. Microsoft is offering their XP-PRO
64 bit version as a free Preview download.

I created my Install CD this morning.

However, I am still trying to install it.

They will send a copy anywhere in the world for $7 but remember it's only a
beta that will stop working at some time.

Well I had a partition to spare. A one year copy of Windows
Xp Pro 64BIT is too good to pass up. I love the learning curves
into new technologies.

I like to try betas too. But I found that there were so many 32bit apps that
didn't work with XP Pro 64 bit that I removed it. Hopefully the next release
will be better.
