Hello all,

I've searched on this topic, but didnt find the answers I was looking for so I am asking for help and advise.
I am about to finish building a new system, it will be running the Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6700 processor which of course supports 64 cbit. I am ready to install the OS, and was going to use the new vista 64 bit version, but wondered if my 7 version of Maya, ( pretty much the whole reason I built this monster ) will run in a 64 bit OS, its running on my 32 bit system right now. Should I use the Vista 64 bit? Vista 32 bit? Or XP 64 bit? or stick with the old XP Pro 32 bit? I really dont have the money to upgrade to a higher version of Maya right now, I really like version 7, it been very stable on my system, and it works well with the books I'm learning Maya with. Basically, will my old freind, version 7 run on a 64 bit OS?? Thanks for any and all help and advice!!
