Anyone tryed daoc on windows x64 yet?

[DirtyDiana]

As above just bought a windows x64 system and was wondering if it worked, have abused google but have retreived nothing. I am aware that i have posted this in tech also but i wasnt sure where to put it. This is my first day as a freddie so apologise for spamming the forum

daoc isnt a 64bit program so it wouldnt really gain anything from the operating system.

i am aware it isnt 64bit but i was just wondering if it will run, and i am interested to know how system performance differs running two ac's on the same pc, as the x64 operating system is meant to be uber in regards to demanding multi-tasking

The suggestion is that although the framerates of DAOC might not increase itself - the rest of the pc has a lot more power available to do other stuff (like running a second account).

The 64bit sheduler is supposed to be much more effiecent than the XP 32bit sheduler so multitasking should be smoother.

Also make sure your modem has 64 bit drivers available as many don't, this has been the only thing preventing me from using xp64 for months
