Re: CS3 and WIN XP 64-bit, looking for user review...
by Dylan Kimbrell on May 8, 2008 at 2:44:03 pm

I've been running CS3 with Win XP 64-bit for several months now. No major issues to concern yourself with but know that CS3 is a 32-bit application so you'll never really get to see the full benefits of a quad core CPU, more than 4 gb RAM, etc. That being said I have a quad core and 8 gigs of RAM which makes running multiple applications (in addition to a CS3 app) a breeze.

After Effects has an option to "Enable Multiprocessing" which will help you utilize your extra cores and RAM during rendering. If set up properly this can lead to blazing render times.

I will say that I experience more crashes on a 64-bit system than I have in the best on a 32-bit rig (this is more of a Windows issue though). Also codec support and driver support, will present some fun compatibility problems for you but nothing that I haven't been able to work around yet.

So 64-bit XP is not essential, but it certainly has its benefits. Also if you're looking to work with a program like Cinema4D or other programs that have true 64-bit support it's definitely worth it.
