XP64

I spent the morning installing XP64 and my hunt for drivers was going well until it came to my Ergodex DX1.

No 64bit drivers available and it doesn't look like there will be any time soon.

So, now I'm watching the setup screen for XP Pro *sigh*.

Vista

I installed Windows Vista 64 Beta 2 last night after much fiddling with the RAID drivers and it does look very pretty... Unfortunately it won't allow me to change my monitor resolution higher than 1280x800 due to Dell not having drivers available for my monitor I guess.

Creative's Audigy drivers are also not installing correctly.

So now I'm installing XP64 once again. I think I may wait until the actual release of Vista before attempting to intall it again.

Drool



I want one of these!

Killer NIC.

I wonder how much of a difference it will actually make (if any). I do like the idea of a dedicated processor for my network card though.
