Running a render farm here at home: 3 Q6600 /8GB /XP64 machines. This renderfarm allows me to create and render scenes that are just plain impossible under 32 bits - renders that take up to 30 GB of virtual memory, far more than the 3 GB that Win32 allows.
Vista 64 Ultimate? In short, if I want an OS loaded with useless graphical gadgets, I'd go for a Mac - Apple's gadgets are just as useless as Vista's, but they look nicer (Apple has a lot more experience with creating good looking useless gadgets).
No, I want an OS that is lean, mean, lets me use a boatload of RAM and virtual memory, and runs the apps that I use. That OS is WinXP 64 bit.
PS: If Vue and Poser would run well under Linux native, I'd use Linux. Wine is too limited to run those apps well.
The pen is mightier than the sword. But if you literally want to have some impact, use a typewriter
