Bought a computer

[Audun_Jemtland]

Hey...today I bought a Quad core 2.14GHz & 8GB RAM PC. I also bought windows XP 64x bit.

My question:What's the advantages of having 64? Is vista any better?

Could someone explain the differences?

[Haydn]

At this point Windows XP x64 is working better than Vista for most users. Vista Service Pack 1 may help some of the performance issues.

I'd go with what Hayden said. I'm a much as a year away from Vista, maybe more. Everything is stable for me, and I don't want to mess with things.

You have xp pro? What's better...home edition or pro? And why?

[DKeenum]

pro has a couple of features that home is missing, but I can't remember what they are. Try googling it.

What do music composers need those features for?:P
Isn't it best to have the most clean os? I wonder why pro instead of home? What advantage does that have for the sound and stability?

If you want to run a network of PCs, all controlled by Remote Desktop, then you need Pro, at least on the DAW.
