AFAIK the OS will not conflict with AP but yes, you could have driver problems and there may be the occasional program that will have to be run in 32bit mode. Drivers are the worst problem and it would be advisable to check the manufacturer' s website for each device to see if a 64bit driver is available or necessary. Vista64 might be slightly better because everybody's writing Vista drivers these days, but in the 64bit world often it's the same driver for Vista and XP. You obviously have a computer running right now, so why not consider keeping everything on it that works and transferring programs and drivers to the new one, one at a time. If you find stuff that doesn't work, then simply remove it from the new computer and retain it on the old one for future use. If you want to transfer files between one computer and the other, you can set up a LAN but if your motherboard/ s don't support it, you would need to fit LAN cards that run Gigabit (10/100/1000) or you'll find some file transfer, especially video, abysmally slow. To save the expense of another monitor and space requirements of another keyboard and mouse, you can use a KVM switch. FWIW my own setup uses the following: Dual core PC for AP editing and general use, using KVM switch to access 2 monitors, keyboard and mouse Quad core PC for virtual pipe organ software, also using KVM switch to access 1 monitor, keyboard and mouse Monitors on KVM switch use digital inputs. P4 PC for wife's exclusive use with own monitor, keyboard and mouse. P3 PC (slow but reliable) with 3TB storage, used as server with separate keyboard and mouse and accessing 1 monitor via its analogue input and front panel menu. (Don't need human interface very often). Also serves printers, except wife's exclusive photo printer. 2 laptops. All linked via Gigabit switch, except laptops linked via wifi. All linked to DSL modem, heavily firewalled. <g> All can access each other, transfer files and use any printer. As technology moved on, I sold one or two PCs that I'd been using, but also kept one P3, one P4 whilst I built new ones with the latest, fastest processors. I'm not a speed freak or 'has to have latest' geek. My upgrades were specific such as 'special' for AP because video needs a fast PC if you don't want to wait all day for it, and another 'special' for virtual organs because the optimum for sound quality needs 8GB memory and very fast processing. The key to it all is using a Gigabit LAN and keeping final video storage on a separate server, in case another PC goes 'tits up'. Anything that won't work with 64 bit can be left on a 32bit PC.
