I installed Windows XP x64 edition on my Athlon X2 computer today. Everything went fine except one thing. I use D-Link DWL-510G rev. 3 wireless adapter which has not official drivers from manufacturer. I tried to install Windows XP 32-bit drivers, however, they didn't work at all. Later I tried Vista 64-bit drivers. After installation Windows recognized the adapter, however, it remained with error status and could not be started. I used google search but there was no particular solution. Nevertheless I found some hints which helped me to solve the problem.
D-Link DWL-510G rev. 3 is based on Ralink RT61 chip. So, I downloaded PCI/mPCI/CB(RT256x/RT266x) drivers from their website. They installed successfully. After that I went to device manager (right click on my computer->properties->hardware->device manager), selected networking (or network) adapter and chose "update driver". Then the answers were "No, not this time", "Install from a list of specific location (Advanced)", "Don't search. I will choose the driver to install.". From the list of manufacturers I found Ralink Technology Corp. and chose "802.11 a/g Wireless LAN PCI". After a short installation you will see "802.11a/g Wireless LAN PCI" in device manager with no exclamation mark. I successfully connected to wireless network and it works well. So, you don't need to buy a new wireless adapter for Windows XP 64 bit (as some people did after no solution had been found).

Intel Itanium 2 photos
I have bought Intel Itanium 1.3GHz CPU some time ago (Madison core). I have finally uploaded two photos of it to my CPU collection. Last week I bought some more CPUs from famous polish CPU collector ABC-CPU too, so wait for more photos in next several weeks. Collectable ones include Hitachi SH2 from Sega Saturn and Motorola MC68EC030RP25B. The other CPUs are not collectable by me, however, they are included in one set, so I'll show them too.
