You are correct. However, I’ve seen benchmarks between Non-64 bit software and software made to take advantage of 64 bit processing. The 64 bit software benchmarks were significantly higher. Software not optimized for 64 bit processing does in quite a few cases run slower in a 64 bit enviroment. Maybe, I should have worded my comment differently. Is Vegas coded to take advantage of 64 bit processing?

Here are a couple of suggestions. I appologize if this gets a little technical. Make sure your page file(virtual Memory) is on a different physical hard drive than the one Vegas and your OS are on. Also Set the minium(sp.) and maxinum size to the same value, usually 1 1/2 to 2 times your physical RAM. Virtual Memory settings are found in Control Panel/system/hardware/advanced. you’ll have to re-boot after you change it. It might prompt you that windows can not create a memory dump file if there is no paging file on the c: drive. This is not usually an issue, Microsoft and programmers are usually the only people who look at that. If you are concerned about this make an 8 MB(Min and Max) page file on the c: drive. Hope this helps.

Boris is correct. Dual/dual core opterons is 4 CPU’s. Intel makes the HT core chipsets which are equivalent to the dual core Opterons. I think the bigger question is ” Will Vegas run on Windows XP 64?” because the Opterons are 64 bit CPU’s. That is where you will get the biggest increase in performance from.
