    I've been hoping to get this reproduced on AMD. Which one is it? It must have EIST, right? The C States in question are C3/C6. Does it not have those, or are they perhaps disabled? If you actually have EIST and C3/C6, and you enable them, then that would be a really interesting test.

    3DS Max 2013 also works, but you have to install it by using the .msi file, not the default .exe

    You must disable C1E and C3/C6 and EIST enable. It works fine here (intel i7 and opera x64).

    If you are wondering what Windows XP,Windows Vista and Windows 7 works on Windows 8.Well here is the software that I have installed on Windows 8 RP that works.

    Software that Works on Windows 8-

    Windows XP Paint,Windows XP Wordpad and Windows XP Sound recorder(from Windows XP.)

    Windows Movie Maker 2.1,from Windows XP. Windows Movie Maker 2.6,Windows Movie Maker 6,from Windows Vista.

    Windows Mail, from Windows Vista,Windows Calendar, from Windows Vista,Windows Sidebar,from Windows Vista.

    Web browsers-

    Advanced browser

    Pink browser

    Ace explorer

    Green browser and other IE based web browsers.

    All of these are Internet Explorer based web browsers, or IE, shells made for Windows 98,Windows XP but work on Windows 8 as they do on Windows 7.

    Pale Moon 3.6, which is a Firefox based browser based on Firefox 3.6 and is a faster alternative version of Firefox for Windows and works on Windows 8.

    Google Chrome.

    Windows Live Essentials 2009 for Windows XP.

    That is Photo Gallery,Live Movie Maker,Live Mail,Messenger, all work on Windows 8 and are better than the 20011 version.

    Windows XP Games(Solitaire and all of the games from Windows XP) work on Windows 8.

    Windows 7 Games, work on Windows 8,if you run the Windows 7 games patcher.

    Windows NT and 95 games,Microsoft Entertainment Pack,work on Windows 8.

    WMP 11 for Windows 7,works on Windows 8.

    Windows XP screensavers from Windows XP and Windows XP sound schemes from Windows XP,work on Windows 8. And so do the Windows Vista screensavers.

    Aim Messenger,Gmail notifier for Windows 2000 and Windows XP and all of the other messengers work on Windows 8.

    And so do all of the media players I have tried,Winamp,KM Player,VLC player,Gom Player work on Windows 8.

    In short most of the software you run from Windows XP,Windows Vista and Windows 7 works on Windows 8.

    Software that does not work on Windows 8-

    Logitech web cam software-does not install on Windows 8. However,the webcam drivers DO work on Windows 8. It is just the video recording software that does not.

    There is a list of many more software that works on Windows 8,too big to list all. Andrea Borman.

    :worthy:I love the idea! There are a couple of older software titles I want to purchase, but I won't gamble good money on software not knowing whether or not it's compatible. Some of the older software I am currently using includes Microsoft Digital Image Pro 10, Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended and Serif CraftArtist Platinum. I need to know if Avanquest MyTypeArtist is compatible, but when I contacted the company they refused to answer my question. They just kept repeating that it's no longer available. The fact is the software is available on a number of web sites, but I can't find a seller that has tried it on Windows 8. If anyone owns this software and has used it on Windows 8 I would love to know if it functioned properly.
