Almost 7 months after the release of Windows XP x64 Edition, it would appear that most of the hardware on my rig now have 64 bit drivers (finally, no thanks to Creative for holding everything up).  So in the interim of waiting for Visual Studio 2005 RTM to be posted to MSDN, I think I’ll load up a fresh hard drive and get the installation rolling this weekend.  Here’s a list of the 64 bit drivers (more of a reference for me if/when I flatten, but might be useful for someone):

• Audigy 2 NX Soundcard (I really hate Creative’s website).
• Radeon X800 Video Card (why is it SSL for a driver download?).
• nVidia nForce 4 Chipset (I’ve always liked nVidia’s website, they should upgrade to asp.net at some point though).
• ABit AN8 Fatal1ty Motherboard (PHP...ick).
  
• Canon CanoScan N1240U (whoops, no 64 bit support…to be expected though, it’s an old scanner).
• Sony DPP FP50 Printer (no drivers *at all*?  Wtf?).

So yeah…that about wraps it up.  I can deal with no scanner or printer support…just plug ‘em into another machine right?  Hopefully it’ll be pretty painless (famous last words).

Sidenote:  Does anyone know of a good (free) utility to duplicate one hard drive to another?  I would like to get everything running smoothly on a beta drive, then just transfer everything over to the screamer when I get all the kinks ironed out.
