If any of you are thinking of installing Vista x64 in a seperate partition you may find this general Vista information I previously posted of use.

Take note that a recent Vista x64 update patch has disabled the ability to permenantly disable driver signing which can be a pain. If you google for info you can identify which KB and either dont install it or uninstall it if already applied. Apart from that I am getting to quite like Vista x64 now that I have made it more like winxp - lol! It definately likes 4Gb or more of memory but so far no problems with games or applications.

The only thing holding me back to stay with vista 64 only is gaming, I don't play games that much but I enjoy occasionally, plus I'm a little bit worried about my 32 bit apps performance, I got 4gb mainly for Maya and 3D studio, but I will use a lot of Photoshop, after effects and Premeier, softwares that dont support 64 bit yet.

I have one more question, I read bichi post and he mentions something about setting your maxmem, after that I went to the ms site that he had a link and there they have a command 3gb where I could tell windows to use the other 1gb for the kernel. what is the advantage of that?
