Am I right in thinking that P Squared now support 64 bit operating systems ?
possibly just windows 7 ?
the new version of Myriad 4.21 supports 64 bit.......

we are doing some upgrades this weekend and would love to free up all that extra memory sitting on our pc's by upgrading to windows 7 64 bit...

can anyone confirm we are ok please.

Thanks !

You could go with 64 bit and certainly we have quite a few machines here running Windows 64 and of course we run Myriad on everything, but our recommendation is still 32 bit (and therefore that's what we support directly) because under 64 bit, some soundcards seem to have a few issues (though these are largely sorted now by the manufacturers) but also things like file locations and registry keys are all different which can mean tracking down issues can be harder for support.

Basically, if you are on 64 bit we can still help with application issues, but if it looks like an operating system or hardware issue then we aren't able to then help any further.

So in laymans terms - if you can go 32 bit then that's best, if you HAVE to go 64 bit then we will try to help, but no promises Smile
