    What experience, good or bad, have people had running SWX under 64bit
    Windows?

    TIA

    Use for very large assembly work. It is generally slower by a few
    percent than 32 bit SW.

    I've been running 2006 in both 32 and 64 bit. I've seen no benefit to
    one over the other. Neither are what I'd call stable, both have the
    same bugs, and I haven't seen any performance difference. Of course,
    with 64 bit the same file uses twice the ram (not actually 2x, but
    something approaching this...seems to vary). I work on fairly complex
    parts, but not big assemblies.

    The only drawback that bob z. has run into is the availability of
    printer drivers. yes, yes, bob z. knows this is a swx specific
    question, but we all need to be aware of the printing issues.

    bob z. likes running swx-64 and xp-64 just so he can say, "hey, look
    at me. mine's bigger and badder than yours."

    So does anyone have an experience of better performance or stability with
    64bit, or is the one and only benefit the ability to use more RAM for use
    with large assemblies?

    Hello. I use now Windows Xp x64, with GForce 7600GT and 1giga Ram. i
    can see that now SW works faster and more stable.
    i am very satisfied with that version of SW

    I use now Win 8XP x64 1 giga Ram GT7600. My SW2007x64 works very fine.
    firstly i was using x86 version of SW, but now i can see in this
    version it worsk more stable and faster. maybe i will chcnage my
    memory because it can be truble tu use in big assemblies, but now i
    diddn't test on it.
