Windows 7 64 bit and SAC

[HapHazzard]

I'm getting ready to do a OS upgrade.

I do have Win 7 32 bit for the host.
So the questions are:

Can I use Win 7 64 bit machines for remotes (newer laptops).

Do I need to run then in XP mode.

Sac remote runs fine on 64 bit machines. Yes xp compatibility mode is advised.

Just got a Dell M6400 C2D T9900 3.06, 8GB ram, 1GB NVidia, 5400 rpm drive, 17" 1920x1200, backlit keyboard, Win 7 Pro 64 SP1 for my SAC remote computer.

At the same time I am also running Winamp for playback music (with the trippy Milkdrop visual in a window) and Freestyler DMX to control lighting. Not in XP mode. This really makes the perfect remote.

The host is the same machine but with XP C2D T9550 2.66, 4GB ram, 512 NVidia, 7200 rpm drive.

The remote will be set up to be an emergency backup.

The remote will be set up to be an emergency backup.

That is a great idea.

on Win 7 x64, what does XP compatibility mode get you? I have been running without this since I set it up 2 years (or so) ago, with (I think) no issues...just wondering if there is a performance gain, etc...

It has helped with certain stability issues and possible display gitches... performance may improve slightly due to a little less background processing.

Hello,

Thanks Now on with the madness!

I have unlimited toll-free calling anywhere in North America if I can be of any assistance.

I work on computers for a living and am getting comfortable with "7" as with "XP" - even though I still use XP - on all of my systems.

You have always been a great help to us here - and I would like to return the favour if I can be of any assistance. Can I say that I would be HAP-py to help you.
