Hello Scott,

Thanks for the topic. I am exploring myselve to verify the compatibilty to go Vista as well and built a new PC based on 64bits only, particularly since Sonar 7 is out now and seems to be 64 bit vista ready.

As I will also go complete the software route I will have to built a fast machine.
But with the possibilites of 64bit vista I can run way more plugins.
Since it will be DAW only and I will use a fresh installation I don't expect much problems though.

Now where do I find a professional sound card with 64bits vista ready drivers?
Apparantly only creative is ready for that but that is not what I am looking for...

I did built a fast PC for my sun this year who is a fanatic gamer based on the latest AMD. Apparantly AMD solved the heat problem as the temperature stays the same even after hours of very heavy gaming.
The AMD are faster as the Intel so I will probably go AMD as well.

As soon as I have found a pro-card vista ready I'll order all components..

Fred
