I've got Windows XP x64, and installed it without problems.
I even noticed a boost in performance compared to normal XP.

It install and runs fine for me. I think it comes up with a message saying that its only been tested on the 32 bit version of XP (BF2 did) but just click ok. :)

It works fine. Ignore the warning and install. XP64 is based on a server kernel and has large RAM support. I have not had one single driver or game problem

I had a problem installing the online installer, well not installing but getting it to download the installer. I had to download the installer on my 32 bit machine then move it to my 64 bit machine then install it. The web site did not like x64 Windows and would not permit the download. Besides that x64 windows is great.

So you moved just the installer or the whole file to 64?

Its been awhile but I believe the web site asks you to RUN instead of SAVE the INSTALLER just save it instead then move it to the x64 machine to run and install.

I had BF2 & SF installed on my 32 when I built my x64 and I try'd to just move'n over but it did not work ( I got invalid CD KEY error) apparently it makes some kind of HARDWARE guid so people cant share there copies of SF, I wonder why

You must only move the INSTALLER install file over and then INSTALL it then download SF and Patches ONTO the x64 machine. The installer codes a hardware GUID so it will only work on the machine the INSTALLER is installed on.

Hope thats clear cause now I'm start'n to confuze myself, I need a nap.
