    I've had success with the wireless on the latest build of x64 (I believe RC2...)

    I suggest checking that out.

    The part I haven't been able to do is install the graphics drivers. Any pointers on installing the Catalyst drivers for either (or both) XP 64 or 32 would be much appreciated.

    Use Omega drivers www.omegadrivers.net... There better and easy to install. From what I understand you have to edit an .inf file for the ATI Catalyst drivers to install on the mobile ati 9600s.

    Also the latest version on xp64 does have the broadcom wireless drivers in it. Just installed it the other day.

    Yeah, I was pretty happy about the wireless drivers (actually I already stripped them out for the Gentoo side of my box)... Anyway, I had been looking around at Omegadrivers, and I didn't see any 64-bit versions...only 32 bit (Well, they didn't actually specify 64 or 32, so I just assume 32).

    The Omega drivers are just 32 bit, ATI has some beta 64bit drivers http://www2.ati.com/drivers/wxp64-8-10-050119a-019475e.exe but I haven't tested them out.. From what I read they aren't that great yet.

    Anyone found any antivirus software that will work with Windows XP x64?

    Symantec and McAfee do not support it yet.
