Hey Allen,
No it is not really an advantage, Solely because most third party
support is not yet 64 bit compatible.
Although yes, the architecture and speed is a lot more robust
and faster, you would be at a disadvantage if you were to
completely migrate over to this workflow, because of what i
stated earlier….because when you start some serious work
you will definitely find yourself needing third party
support(plug-ins, codecs,etc) which when you suddenly
realize damn they aren’t 64 bit compatible as yet.
So my advice would be to continue investing and serious
edits in the trusted 32 bit architecture and have your
64 bit architecture on another workstation beside you,
and as time goes by when more and more tools become
compatible you add them.
I see from your posts you have a love for MAC.
(nothing wrong) but I on the other hand is strictly a
windows (intel) person.
