Hi Gary,
Thanks for your response. U gave good food for thought.

  • Check my Audio Card (EMU 1212M PCI) & other HW for 64-bit/Win7 compatibility
  • Check other SW for 64-Bit/Win7 compatibility.

Until now, I merely thought of my CPU & MoBo. Both R XP64 compatible, but did not check for Win7.

According to AMD & ASUS FAQs, with WinXP32, I am not able to use more than 3GB of RAM even though my PC MoBo has more installed & it registers at BIOS boot. They advise to use more RAM, under WinXP, I must go 64-Bit. Of course if Win7, it's another story. I was assuming since XP64 is older, more compatibility would have been established by now. I didn't think that maybe OEMs have ignored XP64 & moved on (They ignored Vista like they did ME, I think.)

Saw PTW2010 is Vista/W7 ready. I assumed it was tweaked for 64-bit processing & that 64-bit ability was backwards compatible.

For now, I'll stay @ XPP32, check my Win7 compatibility issues, and then decide. Tnx!
