Crashes with multiple processors

[Harm Millaard]

The Adobe site explicitly states 32 bit ONLY, so your sight was wrong.

Here is what I read on the Adobe site:
“While Adobe Creative Suite 3 software is natively 32 bit, these applications will run on 64-bit versions of Windows”

However – the software will not run on the 32 bit version of windows on this system either. After Effects and Photoshop run fine. Here are the main system components:
Dual AMD Opteron Model 2354 (2.2 GHz) (Dual Quad−Core)
2 x 4GB DDR2−667 (8GB total)
NVIDIA Quadro FX 4600 768MB

My question remains – could the 8 cores be an issue?

I’m running Vista 64 & CS3 Suite on an 8-core Intel Skulltrail without these problems. It may be a different story for the 64-bit version of XP though.

Adobe states: Microsoft® Windows® XP Professional or Home Edition with Service Pack 2 or Windows Vista™ Home Premium, Business, Ultimate, or Enterprise (certified for 32-bit editions only)

Intel Quad cores have no problem with 32 bit OS.

Have you considered putting in Vista 64 Brian? I think the new CS4 will be more compatibility. It’s being launched in a couple of weeks and probably on sale soon after. You’d have to be sure your hardware has V64 drivers though.

I’m hoping to avoid Vista all together. Several of my other apps don’t support it. I’m hoping I can jump over Vista to whatever comes next.

If your apps don’t support then you’ll have to wait I guess. But for me I haven’t found a single video/graphics/compositing/encoding application that won’t run/install on Vista 64. The ability to use more than 4-gig of RAM has fixed our memory crashing problems and the system runs with much more stability than our old XP 32-bit platform. I’d investigate Vista 64 compatibility thoroughly with your other apps before you dismiss it.

I have a similar problem when I moved up to Quad Core processors.But it is with Studio Max. The rendering simply freezes every few frames. could it be a compatibility issue?

I haven’t had a problem with Max – or any others actually. If I limit the machine to 4 cores at boot-up, Premiere will run. This doesn’t seem like a great solution since I lose half the horse power I paid for.
