I’m also very interested in this Spider, though I don’t think we will see any improvement in 32 bit applications. Drivers could be a problem although I understand Nvidia have 64bit drivers ready to go.
Any early adopters in EAF?
I’m also hoping that the new dual core AMD chips will be S939 compatible which will help the lifespan of my current system.
I take it you have to buy it just like XP etc? EDIT - Yes that’s true, you have to buy XP64 or you can get a free 120 Day trial version from the microsoft site.
I think that I will upgrade to it once BOB is out and I have a dual-core CPU.
Haven’t read the article yet, but from my very brief experience I do not recommend installing XP64 just yet, there seems to be too many missing links (drivers), but they might come quick, so who knows in a couple of weeks or so.
As to our sims, I haven’t been able to test anything yet.
I gave a go to the beta 3 months ago…
Was nice, but too many problems…
No drivers for my adsl usb modem, so without internet access it was an usless pc for me…
I didn’t made exact fps testings, but at first sight PF was the same as in 32 bit…
