i found 32bit to be snappier (i nlited both installs heavily too)

just seems to respond quicker

(running with 2gb, 3ghz opteron, 2x74gb raptors raid0)

does everyone have to ask this question? like i have said before if you have the drivers then why not, might aswell use the 64bit to its full advantage.

is there a SATA nvidia raid driver for 64 bit? cos that i cannot find from the MSI website, or is the drive built into the system driver from nvidia?

thats basically the only thing thats holding me back from 64bit.

tried win xp 64 bit once using the trial version microsoft offers. Never Again.
Wait a while till theres more drivers for windows xp 64 as that is its main downfall, lack of drivers. Also I found performance boost is non existent
