There is a 64 bit version on their web site which you have to register to download. I have the spyder 2 express working on WS2008 64bit no problem.

in a nut shell the OS can access more than 4 gig of RAM which is good. However for the apps to do the same they must be written for 64bit.
It does not mean your PC will go faster.

Its still a good yr away from been common place. Lightroom is 32 and 64 bit CS4 should be 64 bit

The main reason I installed WS2008 is to make use of Hyper-V virtualisation (for study/lab/play), which requires a 64bit host. It performs much better than any of the virtualisation products that run on top of Vista or XP.

He'll be on student rates, not much motivation to work faster, the burgers will be dodgy as well.

- went to camera and camera today. They have run out of stock of the D700. Said that Noink have not supplied them with enough. He then tried to sell me the one on display

hmmmm.....would love that 135......

I would only recommend the 135mm focal length for portrait photographers...

lol, I wouldn't use it for anything else.
