64-bit integration

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I understand that this may have been touched on before, but I am currently looking at changing my GUI from XP Pro 32-bit to XP 64-bit. I was wondering if anyone had come across any problems running any of the following, and if so what problems did you encounter.

ArchiCAD 10
MaxonForm
Artlantis Studio v1.25
Photoshop CS3

I also aim to upgrade to a Duo or Quad core with 4Gig ram. Anybody know of conflicts with either of these aswell.

Thanking all in advance for their input and opinions

The latest Macs are 64 bit. Do they run Quicktime VR?

since quicktime is at its core a mac system-level framework i would imagine so . . . not 100% though . . .

Thanks Ben.

I think that Graphisoft should push the support of QT VR for Vista 64. QT VR is a feature of ArchiCad and to have it unavailable for high-end Window systems seems to be a serious negative.

well vista is like pimped win xp nobody said it is better or more stable or support everything correctly. is not their fault if Micro$oft doesn't give infos or even keep some thing as they were (when there is no reason to change)
vista was made to bring some cash to MS not to bring to us something new

They still use the tiny, non-stretchable dialog with about 4 lines and 30 characters to edit environment variables that can be hundreds of characters. This was OK in Win95 on 800x600 pixels, but is ridiculous on dual 1280x1024 screens... And there are literally hundreds of these idiot dialogs to "graphically" manage Windows.

Quicktime is an Apple Technology, it is supported on all Apple Machines.
This is part of the reason why they will not make 64bit compatible Windows versions of Quicktime VR (from what i can glean from the Quicktime Forums)

it is in their interest to keep VR technology to Apple because it generates more profit for Apple in Hardware sales, moreso than it would in software sales of Quicktime VR to Windows 64bit machines.

In the end, it all comes down to money.
