Hi Guys,
Just wanted to know is there any difference when use the latest Adobe Application such as Premiere, AfterEffects, etc on 64bit Processor and Operating System?
Thanks….

In general no, just a lot of headaches, since X64 is not yet supported. If you are in the pharmaceutical branche and want to sell pain-killers, go for it.

Thanks for your response, Harm Millaard
But how about windows XP Prof on Intel Dual Core instead of Pentium D?
Should I go with Conroe or Pentium D (Price/performance) -
The Core 2 Fuo is way ahead of the Pentium D, both in terms of speed and heat. Whether that is worth the price difference only you can answer.

You can always go for AMD Athlon 64 bit version, its cheaper, faster and more stable. 🙂

Get real. Intel leaves the AMD’s way behind in the dust. As for stable, where do you get that idea? I suggest you do some reading, instead of coming with unfounded claims, that are not correct in the current time.

ok, I did try XP 64 for a couple of days and then went back to XP Pro because it can not recognize one of my HD because the controller was not in their support list. I did some simple test, the render speed has improve 5-8%, but not really noticeable for small projects. Premiere 1.5 runs fine under XP64.
As far as AMD, I used to have Intel, and then for the price switched to AMD. Now, it has been 6-7 years since, if not longer. I have not have any problem with AMD at all. In fact, I think for my experience, it is more stable (w/ Premiere). Again, this was many years ago w/ Intel and Premiere has changed a lot as well. As far as render speed, I think AMD is very competitive as well. The next system I buy, I may go back to Intel just to see the difference, if any.

Hello Millard,
Sorry if I sound rude but I think you are horribly biased towards Intel which I am not. I never said that AMD 64 performs better than core duo but obviously Pentium D is no match for Athlon64. And the performence improvement that Core duo offers also comes with a comperatively higher price. So if at a much lower cost the need of the user is satisfied, then why to spend more?! I only tried to suggest this point to the user.I do read, and read a lot. Next time please do not think that you are the only reader around; and read a post carefully before throwing rude comments and unwanted suggestions in reply. I do not how much you read neither I have anything to do with that, but there is serious lack of understanding in you.
BTW, I have two computers, both runs on AMD [one 64 and other XP] and I have switched to AMD after using Intel extensively and reffering to a number of tests and price too, so whatever I say is based on my personal experiences and tests as well as of third parties rather than completely borrowed from third parties which are sometimes tailor made to suite the need of a particular company.
I have no intention to insult you but next time be a little bit more polite in your approach to other users.

64 bit Dual Core Quad Xeon Hyper Threaded Pentium Double D…smoke and mirrors when it comes to using Premiere and most other apps. They just dont use much of the processing horsepower available. Just check Task Manager.
I have a 2.4 Celeron ($30 in a plain wrapper) overclocked to 4.2 Ghz (freon cooled) and Premiere uses 100% of the power…blows the doors off all those high $ hermetically sealed chips (-; -
I just built a new XP Pro-based system with nVidia chipset motherboard, and athlon 64 X2 2.7 GHz processor. Premiere Pro 1.5, the main app I use on this system renders so unbelievably slow as to be unusable.
I used PremierePro 1.5 on my older system, and it rendered acceptably fast. That was an AMD 1.5 GHz processor system.
The old system had a Matrox Parhelia 128 MB video card.
The new one has two nVidia GeForce 7600 GS PCI-E cards in SLI-enabled motherboard.
2-gig of dual channel 400 ddr ram. 3 big SATA drives, and scratch disks separated as directed (conformed audio on different physical drive than other scratch drives).Anyone know what I need to do to get 1.5 to render properly on the new 64X2 processor system? It is currently so slow that I get only a few dozen rendered frames every minute!
I found one Microsoft patch that helps with the MPEG-2 transcoding bug, but it didn’t help my rendering problem at all.
