Windows XP 64-Bit Customer Preview Program

MBCook writes "I just notice that Microsoft has a new Windows XP 64-Bit Customer Preview Program starting today (February 3rd). If you have a AMD Opteron or Athlon64, you can go to the download page to get your copy. It's a pre-release copy that will expire in 360 days (which probably means the final will be out by then). Now Intel just changed their 64-bit plans, and all of a sudden this appears. Speculate away!"

OMFG I can't believe I am still reading posts like this. How do people mod up such innane bullshit?

Can we ever have a 64-bit related discussion without these insanley simplistic criticisms that have been addressed 1000 times already?

I know PLENTY of people who have machines with a gig of ram!! 512 megs of ram has been standard for 2 years now!!! If 1 gig is the standard in a new machine today, don't you fucking think maybe 5 years from now we will need MORE than 4 gigs of ram??? HMM????
