Manufacturers of professional graphics hardware are certainly aware or their CAD customers and provide win64 drivers. Otherwise you need network drivers and you are good to go on a CAD workstation. > > I think in general the 3d modeling and cad users will very much like > 64bit windows.

I see questions about win64 every week in the Autodesk Inventor discussion group. Unfortunately, the answer is always: No, but at least it will get up to 4 GB of memory. You will get a similar answer if yo ask about multicores. And the really sad thing is that this is even true for the upcomming release. If only software vendors would accept Linux as a platform... Life would already be much better. Matthias -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
