Vista 64-bit and Lightroom

[Witwald]

Is anyone using a 64-bit edition of Vista with Lightroom? What are your experiences, both good and bad? How much RAM is in your PC? What graphics card do you use, and why? Are your printers and/or scanners supported by stable and reliable 64-bit drivers? Is anyone using a quad-core Intel processor?

I'd be interested to hear your thoughts, as I'm planning to upgrade my old 3.' GHz Pentium 4 system.

There are very very few reasons to upgrade to Vista 64. Unless you have really stringent security requirements or are running servers I would stick with the 32 bit version. You are asking for a very large headache with 64 since many vendors have not implemented 64 bit versions of their drivers yet and many don't intend to since Vista 64 enforces driver signing and they don't want the extra expense. Really... stay away unless you have to.

That being said... LR and Vista 32 play nicely together.

Besides, LR does not run in a 64 bit mode at this time. So why bother?

I had massive issues with Vista Ultimate 64 on my quad-core system. I'm still not sure what the deal was, but after several times of trying clean installs of Vista 64 only to have a severely unstable OS, I'm now using XP Pro 64.

That said, I had no Lightroom problems with Vista 64.

I'm not on this forum much so if you have other questions, please email.
