I have been a lover of XP since it came out. I did try and loved W2K3EEx86 as well, but its got some unfriendly things about it when used as a workstation. Which brings me back to XP. Been thinking of the x64 bit version. I am told that its the best of W2K3 but designed for desktop use. I need to hear from people who use it as their main rig, daily use. Can me and all my free tools that work on XP, move over to XPx64? What will I FEEL when seated at this rig, when compared to regular XP. Intel P45 mobo, C2D-Q9300 (Quad-core@2500mhz) 6GB ram, 60gb SSD, nVidia GTS250, Intel GB Nic, realcrap sound. Tell me the Pro's and Con's.

Sooooo, should a guy (nuhi) who has mastered making the tools for W2k, XP, W2k3, XPx64 now make a Win8 tool, or, should he keep working with what he does so well. Letting someone else make the W8 tools .... someone like YOU! You go for it! YOu got my vote!

using the TESTMODE setting for your iaStor drivers is the same as hitting F6 during normal install. Then you can install more drivers with PNP option, like the Intel INF files. You really should SLIPSTREAM the SP3 (free download) and also slip stream the POST SP3 update pack. This makes your first boot, fully updated, with the latest WHQL'ed drivers. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/service-packs-download#sptabs=xp http://www.mediafire.com/download/5r652fwejjfqxf2/XPSP3_QFE_UpdatePack_20130813.7z

Welcome back, you have been missed! Looking foward to beta testing future releases. Im choosing to stick with XP/W2K3, so your tool is my best friend!
