Thanks, although i don't want to highjack the thread, my question essentially is........

As far as CS4 is concerned (Dynamic link, AE, PPro etc...), will it make a difference whether i use Vista 64 bit vs. XP Pro 64 bit?

Yes - lack of hardware drivers and likely incompatibility of software designed for Vista 64 bit. And a general lack of 64-bit software. Otherwise the same benefits apply regarding 2GB space per 32-bit process etc. One other issue - there's no retail version of XP Pro 64 so obtaining a license and media may be tricky.

BTW, I often use XP Pro 64 and believe it hits the sweet spot for Windows - very nimble and stable. It shows its pedigree with Server 2003 (as does Vista).

32-bit applications designed for XP (32-bit) will most likely run on XP Pro 64. It is 64-bit applications written for Vista 64 that may not run on XP Pro 64 because Vista has features/functions that developers may use that aren't available in XP Pro 64. But 64-bit applications are still few and far between.

I'm looking at moving to CS4 Production Premium with the upgrade special good until the end of next week. If I do, I'm considering putting another 4GB (total of 8GB) into my Dell XPS 420 and installing the 64-bit version of Vista Ultimate.

Will I see a noticeable improvement (i.e. worth the total $650+ upgrade) or would I be better off saving the cash and living with CS3 on a 32-bit system?

I have XP Pro 64 and Premiere Pro 2.0 will not burn a DVD from the timeline as it used to on my old system. I'd upgrade to CS4 if I wasn't worried that the program would not work properly. XP Pro 64 is not listed as being supported by CS4.

Problem with XP64 is that it`s FAR less compatible than Vista X64, there are LESS drivers for less devices. XP64 is more of an afterthought, Vista 64 is better suited for everyday use, including video production. Believe me, I`ve worked with all of them, on variety of machines and variety of applications.

After all, it`s 2009. Don`t go with OS that has been designed in 2000 for 1999`s hardware.

Personally, I'm using XP64 with CS3 and CS4 while I wait for Windows 7. And I've had no compatibility problems at all (its a video machine not a general use one).

Hey guys,

Any recommendations for which version of Vista 64 to get that will bog down CS4 the least? I'm leaning towards Vista Business SP1 64bit, because someone mentioned that there's less extraneous programs going on in the background.

thanks

CS4 + Vista 64 Ultimate

Having recently moved from a dual core system Vista 32 3gb RAM to a Core I7 Vista 64 bit 12gb RAM, all I can say is WOW. The interface is extremely responsive, no 'Out of Memory' warnings, rendering times have been slashed and not a single crash. I have mine set up as the Hidden Super Administrator account, which by default turns off the UAC and have followed Adobes own recommendation re the paging file size (search the Adobe site and you will find it) and haven't experienced any issues what so ever.

Hey guys, thought that this was interesting on the premiere products page at adobe, they are advocating the 64-bit systems. It doesn't seem to say specifically Vista 64, but you know...
