Has anyone tried installing Windows XP pro 64bit on their T61p or any Tmodels?  I was wondering how successful did you guys have.  I am running into a weird problem with my network adapters on my T61p's.

But after awhile when the machine would go standby, the network adapters would whack out again, and I have to do the uninstall / reinstall tcp/ip adapters again to work.
