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. I guess you have been away from Windows for awhile. There is a program out that will let you remove many of the xtras that you misname "bloatware" Heck, most versions of Linux come on 3 or more CD's nowdays. Windows still comes on 1 cd. So, who has the more xtras? ) |

Thanks for the response. Much appreciated! I am definitely excited about getting into some 939 H/W. I am just trying to evaluate the time of best entry. I will step with caution, with no rush, as I know I will soon have my new 64bit neon glitter magic machine. |

I only wrote what is true. I love Mandrake btw, and am a paying member. But I also am aware that it takes 4 CD's to install Mandrake 10 AMD64 Final. I doubt it will go over 1 cd for Windows XP 64bit. That was my point. If I offended you by my candor, then you need to stay away from newsgroups. |

So, who has the more xtras? ) Yes, but while with Windows' 1 CD you get about 1.1G of stuff installed on your harddrive and nothing more than the operating system, you need only 500M of a Linux distro installed in your harddrive to get the operating system, graphics environment and 2 or 3 desktop managers, compiler for C, C++, and Objc, 3 or 4 assemblers, the devels of all libraries, an office suite, an imaging program, cd recording utilites, web server and php interpreter, one or two database servers, multimedia utilities and a complete development environment. |

"Steve Midgley" wrote in message ... and how is it different ? do they have network working now on it? I coundnt get my network running when I tried the last version of win64, regards malcolm For starters, it looks much more like a finished operating system. The log-on and log-off are like XP, themes are enabled, sytem restore is available, the parallel port works but my printer still isn't supported and a lot of other little things. There is a firewall similar to the one in XP SP2. I wish I could tell you that your networking is going to work but that I do not know. I do know that my Linksys wireless adapter still isn't going to work but my onboard nVidia always has worked. What network card or onboard network device do you have? Steve Midgley hello Steve 3C Gigabyte onboard network, on an ALbatron K8X800 pro2 mobo. I coundnt get a MS NIC working either with the earlier 64os. regards malcolm |
