Hi, Ian... I know that most applications will run just fine on a 64-bit machine. I was worried about applications, e.g. add-in cards, that require separate drivers. Some that I have seen are marked that the driver is 32-bit only and that it won't run on the 64-bit machines. I have a couple of cards (PCIe) that claim not to run on 64-bit versions of WIN 7.
I would like to add that I am aware that general worries about WIN 7 are really long out-of-date (as it approaches obsolescence itself), but the future looks glum with a market dominated by WIN 8 Ultralites with touch screens. I use a Samsung Tablet 10.1 for common day-to-day applications, but cannot imagine using it for, e.g. PSK or JT stuff. Your reaction?

The 64-bit processors (and theoretically the OS) are designed to handle running 32-bit applications, albeit slightly less efficiently than 64-bit apps. </snip> - ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
