Quote - What is the preferred os (XP, Vista, 32 bit, 64 bit) for a Vue workstation....???

If you are going the Windows route, then the obvious choice is 64 bit Vista for the time being. You want to stay as much as possible in a 64 bit OS and use applications that will take advantage of it along with LOTS of memory. Certainly a Vue workstation would be applicable here. Make sure to upgrade to Windows 7 when it comes out.

Happy rendering.
