Heard some rumours. Can anyone confirm this happened? How long do you expect till it hits the shops? Anyone any experience with an Athlon 64 and one of the RCs. Any improvement over 32bit? What's the level of driver support for mainstream current hardware?

Was using it meself. It seemed aright I had some driver issues with my ATI graphics card but improvements have been made since i was using it. Had all the same features as 32-bit.
