they don't exist except from a hack copy of drivers intended for 2003 Server you can download from HP's website. In any event, if you need Intel network drivers for XP64 extended, good luck to you. Microsoft justified the move saying the itanium was to expensive to attract home users and only corporate types would buy the itanium, and the OS they would use would be Server 2003, not XP.

My rig is Dually Opteron 242s, currently running pre-release candidate 1218, although I'm waiting for 1289 to ship out next month, if it's on schedule.Īlthough I must correct the previous post: Intel hates the new XP64 because microsoft dumped the Itanium-native 64 bit edition in favor of the extended version compatible with the AMD chip and a lower end Intel compatible chip. I'm also volunteering as a beta tester for XP64.
