Default Re: Windows x64

I just built a new machine running in x64. I don't have all my poker stuff set up yet, but I'll tell you my findings in a day or two. Here are the problems I've noticed so far:

AVG Free, the anti virus program I use, doesn't support x64. So I switched to Avast.

Daemon Tools, a program that provides virtual drives and lets you mount disk images (like .isos), does not support x64. I have not found a suitable alternative yet. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

Other than that, sound/video/games work fine. From what I've read, there is a very slight performance increase in using this OS - but it's pretty tough to distinguish between it and Windows XP in day to day usage.
