You could think about using some kind of virtualisation - this is exactly the sort of situation where I find it really useful. You can run a 64 bit host OS, then have 32 bit XP as a 'guest' in VMware or Virtualbox or some other virtualisation software. With recent CPU's there is very little performance penalty (running 32bit on a 64bit host) and it can be very convenient (it is easy to map network drives between guest and host which perform very well since the 'network' is virtual) Cheers Robin _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list [email protected] http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
