Dedicated workstations for professionals are another great candidate for x64 edition so long as they're willing to put up with limited peripheral support. The free Paint. NET image editing application, for example, is fully optimized for multi-core and x64, yet Adobe can't get its act together and won't even release an x64 edition of the upcoming Photoshop CS3. That doesn't mean you can't run x86 Photoshop; in fact, it will still probably run a little better on Windows x64 because more than 4 GBs of RAM can be supported with ease, which gives more memory to Photoshop.
It's just a crying shame for Adobe to lag behind, because Paint. NET has shown tremendous speed increases using x64 for filtering and layering effects on the order of 50 to percent speed boosts.
Adobe should have been supporting x64 two years ago and it won't even do it next year. The bottom line is that you have to look at your own hardware limitations before you can make any kind of a transition. If all the hardware you want to use will work on Vista x64, it's well worth the transition. I've changed the way I charge my iPhone.

Joined Dec 19, Messages 1, I'm not sure why it would be a good idea to move from Vista x64 to XP x64; are you experiencing specific "bugs" or is it more Vista's bad reputation?

I actually have more issues and compatibility problems with XP x64 than I do with Vista x SuperSubZero 2[H]4U.
Joined Nov 21, Messages 3, I did this, I went from Vista x64 to XP64 on my old laptop. Luckily I found drivers for everything, though it was an old Dell without all that much stuff. There is a range of bit machines that might not be quite strong enough for Vista x64 but have no reason to be running XP My old Dell fell into that category.
There are workarounds , though. By the way, even bit apps that were developed for the bit version of Windows XP might have problems under Vista x64 if they have conflicts with Vista standards. So moving to Vista x64 might cost you more if you have already Windows XP licenses with an upgrade option.
Deployment: Vista images are hardware independent, which probably is the most important new feature from a system administrator's point of view. However, this doesn't apply to 32 and 64 bit images, i. If you can't move entirely to the 64 bit edition, then this might double your workload.
Problem diagnosis: Even though, all your hardware and software supports Vista x64, you'll always ask yourself if a certain problem is bit-related. After all, Vista x64 is a different OS than Vista x The same applies to applications which were specifically developed for the bit editions.
Thus, solving a problem might often be more time-consuming. Conclusion: In my view, for the overall majority Vista x86 is the better choice. Even Microsoft writes that " the bit editions are not for everyone.
I suppose that bit will only play a major role when Vienna, the next Windows version, comes out. There are even rumors that Windows Vienna will only support bit.
So perhaps it makes sense to wait a few more years before jumping into the bit bandwagon. Want to write for 4sysops? We are looking for new authors.

Compatibility issues have faded as most of the hardware that didn't support bit is reaching the end of it's lifespan anyways. Most PC hardware and peripherals produced since Vista was released support Vista The biggest problem is printers and scanners, since many older models are still in use at offices everywhere. Scanners can last a very long time and new drivers are rarely released. Because of this, most of the nonbit compatible hardware doesn't work in any version of Vista anyways.
The good news is that printers and scanners are cheaply available and can just be replaced when going to Vista Getting Vista bit doesn't leave much headroom for that. All that said I'd recommend anyone installing Vista on a new machine should use Vista64 and as much RAM as their machine supports.
Vista64 is actually a completely different operating system than Vista bit and seems to run a lot faster and smoother in my experience. In my experience its the best OS Microsoft has released so far. Its very stable and is significantly faster than Vista 32 bit editions which I have used Home Premium and Ultimate. I dont use Printers and scanners so no comments about the driver support here. Some 32 bit apps like Nero Burning Rom have certain problems in working,but other 32 bit apps work perfectly fine.
Virtualisation softwares work perfectly. Memory Management is really a plus point of this OS. So in my opinion dont go for Vista32 or 64,instead get WS x64 ,convert it into a Workstation OS and feel the difference I saw your system on Newegg.
Quite decent system for doing anything on workstation. I hope that it isn't disturbingly noisy as it is a major brand made which is good on efficient thermal discharging. I was wondering about this too and used google for more info and there's a lot to find about this subject. One side note Haha, I remember the time when Microsoft said " KB are more than you'll ever need", resulting in the pre-historic burden many generations of PCs carried forward. We don't need that shit again.
I bought an Acer in with Vista 32bit. I recently accuried a 64 bit Vista Ultimate. I replaced the hard drive and have 2 gigs of ram. When tring to install the 64 bit it sent a message saying "system wont support Vista 64bit. Is it because of divers,what do I need to to do to get the computer to accept the 64 bit Operationg system. The Acer has a Duo core Intel processor. Please help if you can Your email address will not be published.
