Did you run the checks on your machine first to see if it is Vista capable?

Indeed. I think you need a pretty decent pc to run int, including a good graphics card.

Its at beta 2 testing so 'most' major bugs should be fixed by now. Looks pretty sweet, knicked most of good points about the mac os.

I'm running XP x64 edition on my athlon XP and although it is quick, I am getting so annoyed by some vendors' complete lack of support for it.

Eg.

I have failed to get flash or shockwave player installed on either IE x64 or Firefox 64 (which is in alpha still)

Normal Firefox just doesn't work if you try to download anything

Absolutely NO support for Logitech webcams

You can't share a local printer over the network to a standard XP machine as the machine barfs when it tries to load the driver


....to name but a few. Am seriously thinking of going back to 32 bit as although it was slower I could use it for just about anything.

it's only my daw that runs on the x64.. my lappy is still 32bit.

the dualcore chip is fucking nuts for music, especially now that you can allocate cores to do specific jobs. stable as you like and too quick.
