Hi Uwe. Actually, XP32 will not run much more than 3GB of ram, so the situation's worse than you thought.
XP64 is stable and will do what you want, but there is no Service Pack 3 for it, as there is with XP32, and XP is slowly becoming unsupported. New drivers are tending to be written with Vista in mind. There are too many tales of woe about Vista from too many people who are really not qualified to comment. :-( Initially, greedy software houses having already had our money were very slow to write proper drivers for Vista and a lot of folks tried to use old software that didn't follow the new rules laid down by Microsoft for Vista, and of course (as usual) the customer suffered. I firmly blame Microsoft marketing for not making the situation clear before the product launch, but that doesn't make Vista any worse than XP or any better than MacOS or Linux. Now that the first Service Pack is available for Vista, it's a better product and more stable and I'm sure that if you ask Adobe, you'd find that CS4 has been written more with Vista in mind, so support issues will be easier for them to handle. There are (IMO) some truly horrible features in Vista, but you can turn them off. Of course there will always be issues, but there were (and still are) issues with XP. I suggest considering very carefully. :-) Regards, Alan. www.theatreorgans.co.uk www.virtualtheatreorgans.com Admin: ConnArtistes, UKShopsmiths, 2nd Touch & A-P, HauptwerkODFWriters groups Shopsmith 520 + bits Flatulus Antiquitus ----- Original Message ----- From: Uwe Soltau To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, November 22, 2008 7:12 AM Subject: [AP] Adding Ram Hi All I have just got a new computer to run CS4 I am using XP home 32, I added 6 gig of ram and now find out that xp 32 can only run a max of 4 gig, I am planning on getting xp 64 as this will run up to 16 gigs of ram, I do not want to get Vista as I hear to many bad things about it , does anyone have any comments .
