Here is a link to Microsoft's download site for Windows XP Pro 64. You'll need to register to receive an activation key by email, but it's good for a year, and costs nothing. Free Windows!

Oh yea, it's a BETA - so good luck, and I don't know about its functionallity on 32 bit processors.

I ain't gettin an AMD just for 64-bit. I'll wait for like 256-bit. I have no complaints about my P4 3.0GHz w/ HT, so I guess I'm sticking with 32-bit for now. Good to see their offering it free to beta testers though.

FYI: If you put the CD in a 32 bit machine, you get a message which reads "This Version of Windows cannot be installed on this machine."
