Hello everyone,
I am thinking about downloading the 64 bit beta to my new computer.
It
has a 64 bit AMD processor in it. Can anyone tell me anything about it
or will you direct me to a news group at can. Thank you in advance.

There are too many OPs out there trying to download at once. I had to
wait until the early morning to download as it was busy at midnight.

Here's some good If you have a Staples Store nearby, they are
giving away free SP2 CDs from M$. Just walked in today, went to customer
service and asked for one. Painless. Same large file which was on site.
