Requires XP 64bit pro...
Hands up who has this?
I have a 64bit cpu, guess i'm half way there
Anyways, what does it bring to the table thats new? Thats a very large patch so i imagine it provides some graphical change?

Really? What works/Doesn't work? I've heard a lot of stuff from "Everything works" to "You need apps made in 64bit to work"

I don't have it installed yet.
You only asked who had it.
Few weeks I'll let you know, I'll have my new rig up and running.
I've already confirmed 64bit drivers exist for the hardware I'm purchasing.

XP64, not Windows XP on a 64bit CPU.

So CryTeks in cahooots with AMD to sell some 64bit cpu's?
How would those visuals not be possible on 32bit? The patch is that big only because it contains the new content like beefier textures.

I don't get it. Why couldn't they do any of that in 32bit? The screenshots of both 32bit and 64bit don't look very impressive to be honest.
