I have C5 running on an i7 920 based machine with 12GB RAM, 3 hard drives (1 for OS, one for audio, one for samples) under Windows 7 RC1. It also supports my Yamaha 01v96v2 mixer with MY16-mLAN firewire card which makes the 01v96 a multi chanel audio interface and hardware control surface (this is using the MY16-mLAN P 64 bit driver in Test Mode in W7 and this didn't/doesn't work in Vista 64, so I am happy with it so far). You need to ensure your audio interface has Vista 64 drivers (which should work without problems in W7 64). I also tried C5 on a lower spec dual core E6600 2.4GHz CPU with 4GB RAM and again it works fine. I have a Sony Vaio laptop running W7 64 bit also with C5 - again fine. I would recommend installing W7 either a separate HDD entirely from your current boot drive or dual booting to a separate partition.

Thanks very much - you've inadvertently pre-empted and answered about 3 more questions I had too! (I have a sony vaio laptop and an MLAN device) Thanks! H

There is no official Windows Vista or Windows 7 64 bit driver for mLAN. It does work for me and some others, with a bit of messing about in Windows 7, and it does work on my Vaio as well as the other two machines I mentioned. The i7 based PC is by far the best performer, but you'd expect that really. What I need to stress though is that there's no absolute guarantee that the mLAN driver will work for you under Windows 7. There is a thread on mLAN Central forums in the XP section about getting it all to work. I can't claim credit for the method though. Another guy did the grunt work and documented it. It wasn't dissimilar to what I'd done with the XP driver under Windows Vista 64 but as far as Vista 6 goes, it idn't work anywhere near well enough - playback was mostly OK but I couldn't get audio in from the 01v96v2/mLAN card - works great on the same machine though under W7. I've only been using it for about 3 weeks or so, but no dropouts on the i7 PC. Haven't done much seriously with W7, the Vaio and C5 with mLAN to be fair, but i do know it works. I think the XP mLAN driver probably needs a bit more grunt running under W7 or Vista 64 than it would perhaps with a proper 64 bit driver. Basically you'll need to give it a try and be prepared for the worst if it doesn't work for you in that you'll need to reinstall. Image your existing setup - my Vaio is a dual core Intel Core 2 running at 2.8GHz with 4GB RAM. I replaced the original hard drive with a faster rotational speed drive as 4200rpm drives aren't really appropriate for audio. A clean install of W7 is recommended - however because I need my Vaio for work too and there would have been a lot of stuff to reinstall I upgraded from Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit - it works OK for me with no obvious problems, but ideally I would have gone down the clean install route as I usually like to ensure that moving to a new OS is clear of any potential isues that might be inherited from any previous versions - I will bite the bullet and perform a clean install when the RTM version of W7 comes out at the end of the month, which is one advantage of being an MS partner .

Thanks for the advise - lots to think about there. Think XP may be my o/s of choice for a bit while i research...!
