i have a question,i`ve just bought a asus K8N-E deluxe motherboard with a Athlon-64 +3200 processor.
i`ve downloaded the beta version of windows xp 64-bit for AMD.
but it won`t install.ive burned the ISO multiple times with nero and alcohol 120%.the cd will boot but it skips the part of checking my hardware configuration and goes directly to the part of saving files for the setup of XP 64-bit.
after it`s done saving files it will reboot and i get the famous windows bluescreen.
i`ve tried everything,i have pulled out all of my pci cards and all other hardware.accept for my graphic card,but it still won`t install.

does anyone know what to do?

here`s my hardware configuration:
asus K8V-e Deluxe 64-bit motherboard
1024MB pc3200 DDR ram
asus v9560-vs (fx5600)128MB graphic card

So you did try d/l the latest XP-64 driver package, extracted them to a folder and created a driver disk of the IDE/SATA/RAID drivers to a floppy and do an F6 install ?!?

I found the problem,i had 2 512MB.
1 was a CL2,5 and the other was a CL3.
the normal windows xp pro didnt have any problems with it,and my motherboard didnt eather.

but i`m happy the problem is solved!!

ps.it`s hard to get them 64-bit drivers.
but the athlon64 processor is running very fast on the new XP.
