you can still contact the company using email on there website even if its UK.

Well you have to check if your vista drivers are xp compatible.

Drivers in general are not always useable in both OS versions.

Software is not a problem mostly.

But drivers need to be Vista...

I think that magazine needs to redo there tests then. If its an old article, then they for sure need to update there statement.

My current spec

Vista 64bit
Ram 8 gig
Videocard geforce 8800...

I could be wrong. I have ultimate asuming that home basic was limited to 3 gigs like windows xp home.

I guess that there is where my misinterpretation started.

32 bit 3gigs
64 bit 8gigs or even more depending on your mainboard.

But you need Vista Ultimate to get 8 gigs. A normal home edition or home premium or even business will only give you 3 gigs....

jup gster123 is right on that one.

CPU is for rendering speed
Ram is for file load.

64Bit can handle large files.

I had to build a large containership into high detail, my file ended up 1.8 gigabytes. And i had no crashes or any other problem.

Do note ram is important.

when...
