Recommendations for installing win7 home premium and MP (1 Viewer)

[nzdreamer55]

I am about to embark on building a windows 7 64bit OS amd 4 core processor on a ASUS board. I'm looking for any guide lines for the initial OS intall before I add in media portal. Also any tips about going to 64bit os from a 32bit would be great (e.g. this plug in doesn't work, or be sure to get the 64x.dll, etc.)

I want to not be pulled astray into the world of windows MCE as I have started to finally get media portal savey (at least savey as far as being able to use it.

Thanks
Steve

do not install any codec packs or codecs. install saf v5.00 unlocked before you install mediaportal.
