    Since you've got an nForce board, do NOT install the ForceWare network tools. The firewall built into it corrupts any and all incoming and outgoing traffic.

    As for third-party, Tiny makes a good x64 firewall, but it's only trial - $49.99 for the real thing.

    Then in that case you don't really need a software firewall unless you're ultra-paranoid about outgoing traffic.

    You know, like me

    i believe the nForce4 mobos (and SOME nForce3 mobos only) have that "ActiveArmor" stuff built in that i think Ashpool is talking about...not 100% sure though.

    ahh..well found a bookmarked article about ActiveArmor;
    http://www.neoseeker.com/Articles/Ha...nforce4/3.html

    hmm...AVG 7.1 seems to support 64bit, even though their online FAQ doesn't say so - but perhaps it just needs updating
    http://www.grisoft.com/doc/366/

    BTW - found a WinXP 64bit Software compatability list Here;
    http://www.3dvelocity.com/articles/w...64softlist.htm

    and this Google result here may give you more info still
