64 bit verses 32 bit Questions
Hi everyone,
By viewing my other post “Best Computer For Editing” some of you may know that I am looking for a new computer for video editing. I have a question in regards to 64 bit verses 32 bit (my current OS is Windows XP Pro 32 bit)
Will Vegas 8 and DVD Architect run on a 64 bit system? Will all my other software application be in question.
For those of you in the know, please bring me up to speed. Thanks, Ray -

Ray, based on numerous threads on the Sony Vegas forum I know that there are several folks running 64-bit versions of XP & Vista with very few problems.
Sony is supposed to be showing the 64-bit version of Vegas at NAB next week with delivery promised “later this year”.
It’s supposed to be for Vista 64 only though 🙁 -
yep, as Mike said. 64bit vista and v8 go together like boerewors and braai

Hi,
Thanks to all for your replies!
A question for Mike; You stated that there are many people out there running 64 bit versions with “little trouble.” Could you give me a few specifics on the problems that they faced?
Also, I’m wondering if staying with a 32 bit running system with Windows XP SP2, Quad Core Xeon, 4GB ram and 200GB hard drive would be all one would need. I would prefer a 64 bit, but then I don’t like hiccups.
Thanks again to all you guys, Ray -
Sorry Ray but, since I’m still running 32 bit XP, I really haven’t paid a lot of attention to those posts.
You can do a search on the Sony Vegas forum on vista 64 bit and I’m sure you’ll get several hits.
There’s nothing wrong with going with a system like you’re talking about.
You can always switch over to Vista (or Microsoft 7 when it gets released) at some point in the future.
BTW, the only reason I didn’t go Vista when I got my new machine was because it was still new on the market and I didn’t want to be a guinea pig.
