Looks like I spoke too soon. When I finished the installation, it turned into a 32-bit Operating System, instead of 64-bit. The hardware is 64-bit. I have verified that. The only drivers from ASUS which would work though, were the ones in the Floppy32 folder which are 32-bit. I tried to get the installation to use the Floppy64 folder for the 64-bit drivers, but the installation said the following:

"The JMicron JMB36X Controller Device Driver could not be installed."

There are four files in the Floppy64 older:
jraid.cat
jraid.sys
jraid_f.inf
txtsetup.oem

Why none of these will work, I don't know. The files are called the same in the Floppy32 folder. My sole purpose in this exercise was to set up a SharePoint Server and that requries a 64-bit machine and o/s.

>Hi Bill,

>Where I downloaded drivers for Windows 2003 Server, which actually worked just fine on the Windows 2008 Server. But, the 64-bit drivers would not work; I had to install the 32-bit drivers for W2k3. My friend who is lending me this machine told me that it was a 64-bit desktop, but I am wondering now about that. I need to go back to the ASUS web site and look at it again.
