what 64bit OS
-
07 Jan 2008Hi guys
i'm current on an old 3.2ghz running 32bit winxp
i'm thinking of switching to a new system, but either my google Fu is weak or ppl havet tryed the different OSsystems for 3d/2d apps
what are your experiences with winxp pro 64bit and vista premium
my focus in on how 3dsmax,AE,PS,MUDBOX runs.
/cheers guys -
07 Jan 2008Man just stick with xp for now, all the 64 bit stuff hardly has appropriate support out there for the most part. You're going to have less of a headache and more time to work if you just stay with xp for the time being. Within the next couple years hopefully other applications like Photoshop will hop on the 64 bit bandwagon and start utilizing the resources, unless you want to do a linux os, and forsake everything known and comfortable to the average user, I'd say stick with what works, Plus Vista is a total hog of resources, it's like throwing a fat kid a box of popsicles and telling him to share with his friends, he's going to go eat all the popsicles himself and leave scraps for his friends.

08 Jan 2008haha, Zahcm
but most hardware should support the 64bits drivers or am i wrong.
so its basic the software that are the problem ? -
08 Jan 2008im just swiched to xp64 and im very happy with it. Dont know if it makes any sense but it feels like the machine runs smoother
(no really increasing performance in max though but it acts more stable)
no driver or app problems whatsoever.
just my old turkish english dictionary wont work cuz itz a 16 bit old win 95 app

08 Jan 2008I was running xp64 for a while (like a day)...until I realized that hardly any of my hardware was supported by it (no drivers)...so I switched back to xp32.
-
09 Jan 2008Well, hardware support is getting better, but software support is still mostly nonexistant at best.

Jonathan 480 posts14 Jan 2008Well, good thing is, with XP-64, you can install 32-bit applications, and they will use up to 4gb of RAM, however, if you have more RAM then that, you'll need the 64-bit version to use it. -
18 Feb 2008hey guys, thx for the replies and, still dont got a new system at home, but
do anyone of you, had come across reviews benchmarks, your own userstories about 64bit gfx platforms.
i'm thinking of 64bit vs 32bit in photoshop, 3dsmax, aftereffects etc. we are talking general viewport performance and rendering the hole slam Baaam
so far my google-fu have been weak, maybe i have been searching for the wrong things.
found this from adobe http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewCon ... d=kb401088 nothing really new in it though. but its explained :]
I need it for our IT department. From a graphics artist view.
