Is anyone using this? Just wondering if anyone else has it and has found any good drivers for their things like cameras and printers. Unfortunately I didnt look closely enough and my new gaming rig came with x64. It works fine for the most part. Except now none of my peripherals work, like cam and printer. My gamepad did have a beta driver thank goodness. I know most of the major companies are promising 64 bit drivers by the time of, or shortly after Vista comes out. But I need a printer before then to print out my novel called a tax return. If anyone has any suggestions for a printer that is compatible that would be appreciated also.

Honestly, I never knew the difference till I got it. I saw XP in the options and overlooked the x64 part. Likely I will end up upgrading to Vista since x64 seems to be a dead end OS only meant for development of the 64 bit stuff.

it's not that x64 is a deadend os... it's XP that is getting killed.. x64 just came out too late... but with Vista around the corner.. it's not a long wait.. though I would be weary of bugs in the first batch..
