MY biggest problem with it is Alcohol 120% will not work on it. The only alternative I could find is some s****y image mounting program that's half command line.

I've been using it for about 10 months now with no iddues. The only drivers that I've had a problem with are webcam, so not a biggie really.

I do believe there is an Alcohol 120 available for 64 bit now IIRC, but I use Nero just fine.

It only causes double posts and randomly changes an "S" into a "D"!

I agree 100%

The only thing that makes your post seem retarded is that Alcohol is a full imaging program, and kicks about this Much |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| a*s. That's alot of a*s.

I've heard that it's really bad for gaming currently, very laggy, even on single player games. Anyone have any thoughts?

I wholeheartedly disagree. I play EQ, Half Life2, Doom3, and Far Cry on Win64, and it feels snappier than 32 bit Windows. I havent had a problem yet...
