64 bit!!??
Dont do it
For all your sanity, such as it is
DONT DO IT
I bought me a Scaleo P..
1st mistake - not noticing it comes with a 32bit OS when its a 64 bit computer.
2nd mistake - not taking it back when spotting 1st.
why?
Well
Having traulled the net downloading the ATI 64 bit drivers, nforce drivers (as ASUS says the card is an nForce and it aint), installing pretty much any 64bit driver that could have worked..
and got somewhere, so sound may be working (no speakers attached to prove it), graphics now working ok, one small issue.
NO FLIPPING NETWORK CARD
the onboard and the compaq cards we had floating around all claimed "No network driver needed"..
yeah well windows 64 dont have drivers for them so it is!!!
sigh
Finally I after more random installings.. the "fujitsu-seamens internal something blah" works with the compaq...
So it only took me most of 2 days to get a "working network card" how lame is that.

Hmmm, we have 64 bit hardware here at work running RedHat and Winders Server 2003 x64 with no issues. I'd love to be able to afford some nice 64 bit AMD hardware for home, for the gaming, but that will be a long time in coming these days!
