I got a 64-bit beta key, burned the iso file to a DVD, and everything went smoothly. However, when I try to install Win 7 by booting from the DVD, it doesn't go to the install screen, it just goes to the default Win 7 background, gives me a cursor that I can move around, and thats it. It's like its booting the full OS even though I have not installed it yet. And by the way, I am using only one blank hard drive when I try to install it (I disconnect my Vista boot drive). I'm sure someone here knows whats going on, or what I'm doing wrong, so please help me

I really wish that these processors will be at least on par with the intel procs. I really want it to be so, because I'm not sure that AMD can take another hit like the disastrous Athlon 64 X2s. If the Phenom IIs don't perform competitively with the Core i7s, then AMD may not get enough revenue to stay afloat.
