there is a free download on Windows Site, i assume it will need key(mybe purched)
and most importent thing is System requirments, u cant install it on any system(64bit Os supported CPU's).
i wonder if the Cpu am buying(PIV 3.6) can support it or not.
also from what i reviewed about it i dont think u can see any improvment unless u add more memory resourses which this new model is capabel of it "now" .

A free beta version with key can be had directly from Microsoft (enabled to run for 1 year).

It's stable on my Athlon 64. There are still compatibility issues with running some programs on it.

No it can't. Like we all said i hardware world drop that piss-poor 32 bit chip for a 64bit future proof AMD chip, cheaper than Intel and when running a 64bit OS you get something like a 22-23% increase over a shyte 32bit chip. Meaning in the future you can expect your 3400 + 22-23%.

Look what happens when i type Windows 64Bit (http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=windows+64bit&sourceid=mozilla-search&start=0&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official) into google. First link Bawa takes you HERE (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/64bit/default.mspx), then you click the giant image that says test it now :dry:

It took 30 seconds to find that, 1.5 minutes to write this out and 3 and half minutes to decode your post into english (it was rather a good post for you thinking about it) and 60 seconds to steal your car :P

It will run on your Athlon 64 and it's already stable.

ROFL, you bought it ?!!?!?

and @ VB, what i meant by stable is, that its able to run all aplications , even 64 bit and 32bit apps, properly.
