We run SW. The latest box we bought my designer runs Vista Pro 64 bit compatible. Twin processors, 8GB ram, 500 GIG 15 krpm Raid 1 drives, and cost about $3500 w/o the monitors.

Similar to your experiences, SW does no yet work right with Vista 64 bit. They are working the problems. We have no choice; the sizes of some of our models requires a SOA 32 bit box 30 minutes to just open and they are unstable after that.

Stick with it; soon you will be up and smokin' SW ..............
