Hi everyone, This is the day where I try and be unfaithfull to WIn XP x86 : I'll try WIn7 x64 (on a multiboot, got to be cautious, still ;-) The main reason: I want to be able to use more memory than 3.75Go ) My question is simple: Knowing that none of the plugins I use are 64bit applications, am I to install Cubase x86 or Cubase x64 ? What choices have some of you made, here, and why are you happy/not happy with theses choices? The main VST-i in I'll use is Kontakt, but many other will be used. Thanks for your inputs. Huey

I might have asked the very same question some month ago. Well, why not the 32b and 64b all together. *If*! if, if the 32b VST-i and VST-FX are able to run with a 64 bit host, I might actually try what you suggest. thx Huey

In my machine, XP32 report 3,5 GB, but Win7-32 only 3,0 GB - Win7-64 reports the full 4 GB, that are physically installed (2x 2 GB). > My question is simple: > Knowing that none of the plugins I use are 64bit applications, > am I to install Cubase x86 or Cubase x64 ? On a 64 bit platform, my first choice would be a 64 bit application. As far as plug-ins are concerned... I don´t know. ;-) > What choices have some of you made, here, and why are you happy/not > happy with theses choices? Not much yet. Tweaked the start menu a bit to my personal preferences, but else?! Not much... I first want to give it some time, to see how it works out without tweaking. The first thing, that you might want to disable is the indexing service - even though it can be quite useful, much more than on XP. Phil

Well if you get the info again, could you post it here? eg: what plug ins are a problem with win7 x64. That will be very usefull for many, I guess Huey
Most plug in problems under Win7/64 are with Cubase64, not Cubase32. Cubase32 running under Win7/64 there are very few plugins that have problems. You can install both Cubase32 and Cubase64 on the same machine. They can share the same project files, etc. I used C64 until I had an older plug that didn't work. All I did was open the same project with Cubase32 (which the older plug did work).
