Hey Martin,
Thanks for the dual boot suggestion, I actually do have a spare drive lying
around. i wonder however if i install the 64bit windows on a spare drive as
a dual boot setup, will the other drives in the system be recognized
correctly (they are all formatted in NTFS)?
That would actually work out as a good way to get started in 64bit and
compare
speed difference of software using the new OS etc.
Sounds like a good weekend project to test.
