| Hi all, I run xp 32 bit on one machine and xp64 bit on the newer one. All apps so far work very well on the 64 bit machine including poser7, carrara6, hexagon2, photoshop7, vue 6 and open office. It seems that if the app does not have a full 64 bit version, the 32 bit legacy is put into a "32 program group". And as xp64 is based on the server2003 platform it is stable and will take upto 128 megs of ram if your motherboard supports this. On the question of graphic cards, I have been building systems for nearly 15 years and have not had good experiences with ATI cards-the drivers have in the past seemed flakey and unstable-this may not be so nowadays-but the geforce cards have taken everything I`ve thrown at them. |
