Before you consider buying a 64-bit OS, make sure you can find all your 64-bit drivers, for your software.

most software, and i don't believe ultra is different then premium for compatibility

 

[krazyq]

Lets say if I wanna run Autodesk 3DS Max or Maya both 64 apps...will I have to install the Vista 64 version, or can they be run seperately?

If they're both 64-bit applications, you should get a 64-bit OS.

I dont believe you need all that ram.

I use around 45 percent of ram...idle.

Here's a new company that will even BLOW away Intel and AMD:

Tilera Corporation

Wow, if I wait awhile for just a bit longer....then I could be working with a: THOUSAND CORE PC

That would be cool, but I'm sure it won't be for consumer use, for a pretty long time.
