If I get a chance, I will report back before I head to work. I just finished
preparing my partitions for install and will be rebooting and installing
directly after posting this .

I guess I'll get to find out soon enough. I have it downloading right now.
Assuming the DSL doesn't crap out I'll be burning it when it's done and
installing it late tomorrow night. I'm assuming I'll just have to kill my
old Win64 Partition and install everything over again fresh? At least that's
my plan for now. Let me know how your install goes if you have a chance :-)
I'm so glad that MS finally finished SP2 and has started working on their
other Opertating System Projects again... I'm just itching to have WinXP 64
go gold.

I booted from the 1218 disk, did a repair install over 1069 and was able to
keep my old configuration. It worked perfectly.

Excellent, I'm glad to hear I don't have to lose the few programs I
installed etc... Unfortunetly my DSL descided to take a dive late last night
and I was due into work early, but hopefully I'll get it installed yet. I'm
really hopeing that with the new public beta MS maybe getting ready to gear
up for some RC's...

They support Theme (to have a "XP" like look and feel), parallel printer
port for printing, it include the same firewall than XP SP2 32 bits (1069
had not firewall)

This build also support the Intel EM64T computer (Xeon Nocoma and somes
futures Pentium 4)

Another thing : when I use Windows 64 bits build 1218 (XP64 or Win2003-64)
as network client and a 32 bits XP SP2 computer as file server, I've
incredible network performance (16 megabytes/sec with two Realtek 8139D, or
using the Realtek 8139D on the 32 bits computer and the gigabit port on the
motherboard of the 64 bits computer)

How does it compare to the 32 bit version of XP (running on the same 64 bit
architecture that is) i.e. how does xp64-on-654/939 compare to
xp32-on-754/939? Is it faster in any respect?

For now, yes. It is considerably faster. A lot of that has to do with how
"raw" it is though. Once they add all there bloatware in there, it will
likely slow down some, but the early releases look promising. On the flip
side, it is already considerably faster "feeling", and that's without good
drver optimization. From that viewpoint, it also stands to get better even
as they add the "bloatware" into it. I have a good feeling about things to
come in the future. They won't catch Linux on 64-bit any time soon, but at
least they are putting forth an effort to put out a product even if it is
way overdue.
