Scott,

Have you looked into Windows XP x86-64?  If you need to stay in the
Windows world, that would be the way to go.

I'm looking at everything. According to the Adobe user forums, though, Illustrator, Acrobat, and Photoshop don't seem to play well in the 64-bit worlds. I have a query into Adobe's support for an answer.

Anyone know?   I have Illustrator CS3 and Photoshop CS3 and Acrobat 8.

Thanks.

Scott

Subject: [BBLISA] What to do with a RAM-heavy desktop?

So I have a 32 GB, dual quad-core processor desktop to
configure.   It
seems like likely I'd install 32-bit Windows XP on it, with
respect to the user needing Adobe Acrobat, Illustrator, and
Photoshop, along with Matlab (which we have Linux versions
of) and Mathematica (which we can get Linux versions of, too).

But with 32-bit Win XP with SP2, we waste 28 GB, as it can
only use 4 GB.

The user is equally Unix-capable, and I could easily install
64-bit CentOS, but how could I enable them to fully take
advantage of the Adobe products on the system natively (i.e
w/o using a VM)?

Crossover Office does NOT show the Adobe products as
supported apps in their tested list.

What to do...

Insights welcome.

Thanks.

Scott
