64 bit OS..

[incubatid]

Probably a bit overkill with the description of why 64-bit is advantageous. Don't-cha think if they can design & program the Virus TI they already know what 64-bit operating systems are all about?

Good that you went to the effort to email though, cheers

Everything in my studio ready to go 64bit, except, well you know what. So please Access, here's one more vote for a 64bit driver.

[synthetik]

Me too. It just doesn't feel right to have to use a back up computer to run virus control. The back up comp is crap while the computer I can't install it on is pretty much godly.

Yeah, probably. I thought it was better to provide some justification for my request rather than simply blurting it out with no backup.
Plus, I can never resist an opportunity to show my computer knowledge =P I sux.

Last I heard from Marc (over at virusti.com) on the subject, there seemed to be some confusion at Access over this one.

There's the issue of:

"64 bit drivers, 32 bit plug-in" vs. "64 bit drivers, 64 bit plug-in".

Marc (and Access) couldn't see the point in the former of those.

Personally, I'd take a 32 bit plug-in with drivers for Vista/Win7 64 bit as a first step since 32 bit Cubase potentially gets a fair bit more available memory when running under a 64 bit OS.

Needs doing ASAP and is already late IMO. I'm running Stormdrum 2, and am having to use DFD mode to cut down on memory use.

BTW - also waiting for Powercore drivers. Once these 2 arrive, I'll definitely be going 64 bit.

Is anybody out there using this combinatio??

I'm wondering to start using 64 bit OS, and I would like to know if is anybody using that...

Thank you very much!!

NOTE: Access, please, come on 64 bit support... All my system is waiting for your step to go for 64 mode ...

The application doesn't need to actually operate in 64 bit mode, it can run in 32 bit mode if it likes. But we need it to run on a 64 bit operating system to get rid of the glass ceiling when it comes to RAM. The main reason for making one is not so that VC runs faster or better somehow by using 64bits to address memory locations, it would be so that you can run VC and also have more than 4gb of RAM. Pretty simple, if you ask me...

Is there a way to manually override the warning at the start of the VC installation that prevents installation on 64bit OS's? What would be the consequences of simply overriding it?

It would be funny if we figure out how to override the critical stop error message, install VC on 64bit OS anyway, and it turns out to work perfectly fine... :p

Yes!! would be wonderfull!!! Please, Access or the God Marc, is able to response that question... Is able to run in 64 bits mode using a 32 bit comm model??

Thank you very much!!

marc wouldn't try. this time i've consulted the oracle.

Here's the point: It would mean their customers and all their potential customers could use just one computer.

Here's my situation: I have 1 main computer (64Bit OS, Quad Core Extreme 3Gz, 8Gb RAM, 1Gb GeForce). It's fast, runs everything I could possibly want except VirusControl. Other companies provide 64Bit drivers for all the hardware I use, jees even my Webcam and Flight Simulator joystick controllers come with 64Bit Drivers. Don't get me wrong having free updated VC software every few months is great but I'm sure the talented programmers at access could stop working on the free VC updates for 2 weeks and knock up some basic 64Bit drivers.

Please.
