I would have to agree with that statement tribaljet. Plus there is still the one issue on how we would even get the driver to start on a x64 OS with the driver signature enforcement thing, that is unless we can somehow get a WHQL signature from microsoft, or if we wanted to press F8 everytime we started up to load the drivers.
I went back to x64 windows on my new laptop because I like UEFI boot, other then that, theres no real advantage for me switching.
