Mo,
Because of the 32 bit limitation of the software, you can not access the full 4GB of RAM you have installed. You'll get about 3.5GB or so, but more than enough for a WinXP install.


Yeah, I do not have much faith that going 64-Bit (as opposed to 32-bit) would be a dramatic enhancement for my apparent "resource aborts" by PTW12. I really won't know the culprit until I complete cannibalizing & building my other "non-DAW-stuff" PC. PC#2 will have all my Desktop publishing, Web Development, and Misc DataBase stuff on it (which currently, is on my DAW [PC#1].).

Interestingly enough, the 'current' drivers for the Emu do indeed support x64, but were written in 2008, and don't support Windows 7. However, that's Creative for you.

I still think that for $100, you can buy an OEM version of Windows 7 and get a better solution. But, that's me.

Re-checking the Specs/features of my Athlon X2 & Asus M2N4-Sli, I believe, I will experience better system performance with a 64-Bit OS, but I'm still searching Asus for Info on this MoBo & Win7. They list Vista 64 only. I am concerned about the EMU Driver too. I've finally learned to use most of it's features that work with my systems. I've fallen in love with the card. I hope Creative Labs gets their Win7 Driver soon.

At least I won't have to wait for compatibility to upgrade to either PTPv2010 OR BIAB v2010!
