I installed it in my M6809 and everything works fine except for the WiFi, which there is no driver available. All the other drivers are available from planetamd64.com/dload.
I'm doing a dual boot system with xp home and xp64. Two problems that I found is that the stock video driver that is with xp64 does not support the resolution of the wide screen on my m6805. After trying ATI's beta 2 driver it would not install properly. I was able to find the beta 1 driver from ATI and that worked great. Now I can do 1280x800x32 no problem. Also the broadcom wifi does not work and I can't find a driver for it to save my life. Not even from some hacker out there, just to try. I even tried Broadcom's 64bit server drivers. Nothing works. I've been using it for about 2 weeks now. seems to be pretty stable already. I've been playing Halo and Halflife on it and seems to be just as fast as 32bit. Haven't really seen much improvement in performance on those games. I have noticed boot time seems to be faster, just a few seconds faster. I'm still working on it. Will keep looking for that wifi driver.
I have been using rc1 for xp64 for about a month now and everything is stable. I have good news though, the wireless drivers for the broadcomm card are built in now and work. The beta drivers from ATI still need to be loaded to get the right resolution(widescreen), and there are a few bugs. Like Doom3 will not run on it at all, I don't know why. Still doesn't run as fast as 32-bit though. I hope the final version is worth all this trouble.
