Ok so I added the -force64 boot flag and it will boot into the OS, however none of the 32 bit programs will work, and the overall performance is not as good. I read somewhere that I may need to patch my amd binaries, but I can't find any threads that explain this. Anyone have a clue? I'd rather run it in 32 bit with the 8gigs, but I'm not sure if that's an option or even possible.
