FrameMaker certainly does run on Vista 64-bit and runs exceptionally well! I ran FrameMaker 8 and now FrameMaker 9 in that environment without any problem whatsoever.
What is true is that FrameMaker is a 32-bit application. Vista 64-bit runs 32-bit applications without a problem in 32-bit mode. What you do gain running a program like FrameMaker under Vista 64-bit is the ability of support much larger amounts of real memory (I run with 8 gigabytes) and thus run the risk of less paging activity to kill performance when running multiple applications concurrently! Also, I have found Vista 64-bit to be rock solid, running for weeks on end without reboots; my only reboots being necessary for the monthly "Patch Tuesday" Microsoft OS updates. - Dov > -----Original Message----- > From: framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com > [mailto:framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of > Reng, Dr. Winfried > Sent: Wednesday, July 15, 2009 12:28 AM > To: framers@lists.frameusers.com > Subject: RE: Soliciting hardware recommendations > > Hi, > > > If you get an Intel Core 2 Duo (or Core 2 Quad) system, running at > > 2.6GHz or higher, with 4GB of DDR2 RAM and 7200rpm drives > > (RAID 0 might > > be a bit of overkill but easy enough to do), Windows Vista Business > > 64-bit, and something like an nVidia 9600GT card or better, you will > > have *more* than enough power to run FrameMaker with excellent > > performance.
