x64 Gaming......

[Howski]

Hi,
I've just finished installing Windows XP x64 on a rig to be used almost exclusively for gaming and was wondering what is the best combo. The games I will probably be playing mostly are:

UT
UT2004
COD2
C&C TFD (all of them!)
Warhammer: Dawn of War + expansion pack
Total War Rome

Now I know UT2004 has a x64 patch out but I’m not sure about the others. What I’d like to know is what games have x64 patches out there and are they worth installing. I’m sure I read somewhere that UT2004 works best on a x64 system running the 32bit version, can someone confirm this?
Cheers,

Idealy what I'm looking for is an up to date version of this with the games listed. Please I know there must be people here intrested in this stuff!

I ended up going back to plain old XP eventually, there was just bugger all driver support for x64.

Yea looks like I'll be doing the same not because of the drivers but the only stats I can find show games running slightly slower under Windows XP x64. I might go back to running Win XP STBE

If there was one, it would have been posted by now.

Its a shame as I would have thought that it'd be the first thing people would do when an x64 patch came out.
