I have Windows 7 64-bit loaded on a separate hard drive from my XP Pro SP3 install. I have a i7 965 EE mounted on a Asus P6T Deluxe V2 and the 64 bit drivers and utilities from the AsusTek website are sketchy at best. Some of the drivers don't install/work and my favorite utility, TurboV doesn't work at all. Can't get it to install. I'm not impressed so I might install the 32bit version. TurboV is great because you can OC the mem and processor from Windows, although it doesn't stick after reboot like OC'ing from the BIOS. It's still handy because you can experiment with most of the voltages and timings, plus the multiplier.
Why can't Microsoft finally push 64 bit by only offering 64 bit period?? That would force all software and hardware companies to code in 64 bit. All processors since about 2003 are 64 bit anyway!!
I'll try the 32 bit version and I'll bet all drivers work. Only trouble is it will only see 3GBs of my 6GBs of memory........
