Win XP64 public beta 2

**Betamax** · August 18th, 2004

Just thought I'd pass it on but there a new public beta for win XP64 for download on m$ site. This one appears to be based on sp2, themes support is added (apparently), as well as the new 64bit version of media player

. Oh and it works for the new 64 bit capable pentium 4's.

... but not on ASUS boards with Athlon64's, according to an email sent by ASUS to my friend. Not until the official release, apparently.

Actaully that would be incorrect. It will work on asus boards. However what they meant by their email is that they won't tell you how, nor where to get the 64 bit drivers for their boards (easily found if you know where to look).
