Unless you have a 64-bit version of ZB then a 64-bit OS will do you no good.
...cause if I got Vista then it would suck up all my RAM
So, so not true at all.
I really wish people would stop saying this crap, lol.
Just like ANY OS, a machine and its' OS work hand-in-hand, and if we don't have the knowledge or patience to tweak a machine for its' intended use, we are just asking for trouble.
Keep in mind, however, not many of us know how to properly tweak a hardware/software combo so it's not uncommon to hear about people having a lot of issues using a given combo for something other than what it was intended, mainly because ANY OS other than IRIX, out of the box is not designed to perform well for the type of work we do.
I've been lucky enough to have a hardware guy build my machines for me for the last 11 years, and for more on that, read about my Vista64-bit rig and renderfarm here.
....but I haven't heard that many good things about ... 64-bit XP.
So, can anyone clarify it for me?
Sure, see my previous link to an old thread about this issue:
