Hi drifterlee,

I'm running win 7 pro 64-bit and I havent run into any problems with apps or games running under the 64-bit OS.

I was able to get Quake 4 running. Thats the only PC game I own...I use my xBox for gaming.  ;)

I did have to get a new scanner and printer since my old ones didnt have drivers for win 7 64-bit.

Hi thefixer,

Man - I thought I was the last Microsoft hardcore hold out in the world.  :)

It took me years to leave IE and go with another browser....Man, once I did I'll never go back.

I was also a hardcore Intel hold out. However, I just went with a Hexacore AMD processor and wow...glad I did much better bang for your buck than Intel.

I'm running Windows 7 Pro 64 these days as well.

:)

Hi Ken,

I've been using Firefox for the past 3 years and love it.

It runs soooo much faster than IE.x.

I just hit R'osity with my IE 8 and it loaded pretty quick....FYI.

Talk with ya soon,
Clint

I Agree - I saw it just the other day and was very impressed.

LOL...Great question.

I'm with Larry F on this one.  ;)

Its just way to easy to pop the old religious balloon......blind faith is a sad thing.

Thanks buddy. Its actually the first time I've mentioned it outside of my family.
We were pretty tight and he was a good friend. It hit me pretty darn hard.

My dad was in a similar state that yours is in. My father had a very high IQ...he's a mensa man.
He was so pissed off towards the end. I could see it in his eyes. He had a lot of trouble communicating and keeping his thoughts right. Be he was there until the end .. for sure.

I was very lucky like you that I had the opportunity to tell him everything I needed to before he passed - So I didnt have any regrets. Now he sits in a small urn at my computer desk and watches me work.  (wink)

Man...this life and then death thing is a real bitch. (sigh)

Stay strong my friend.

Sam, Sorry to hear the news buddy.

My father recently passed away from cancer in July of this year. He was diagnosed in February.
Its a hard battle - I'll Keep you in my thoughts.

Hi Ariana,

I'm so sorry to hear about the breaks. Wow and ouch.
I'm very glad to hear that you are on the path of healing.

Yes, 2011 should be an awesome year!!
Cheers!
Clint

I personally like Carrara Pro from DAZ. But I've been using it since 1998 when it was known as Ray Dream Studio. Its a great all in one program.

If your looking for free I agree with the others Wings 3D is pretty cool. I tried it but went back to Carrara I guess because I'm comfortable with its tools.

Dont forget Blender. Its also a free all in one type 3D application.

Clint

Very cool man.
You should be pleased with the performance!  :)

I'm running to a 21.5" monitor through the DVI interface currently but would really like to go dual!!

Oh hey - My UAC was turned off. Hmm...I didnt turn it off...good thing I read the article at the link provided....thank you again.

I turned it on....just to be safer.

Hi Daymond...Oh man!!! That 1090T X6 should be freak'in awesome!!! I looked at them but decided to try and keep the cost down a little so I went with the 1055T X6.

No problems at all man.

LOL - I loaded up Quake 4 the other night. Uncapped the FPS from 63...jacked up the video to 1600x1200 with all the graphics bells and whistles jacked up to the max and was getting 200-400FPS...  LOL.

I know its an older game but holy SHIT batman...

Poser 7 runs pretty well. I'm going to get Poser Pro so I can get true 64bit utilization.

Bryce 6 runs like the pig that it always has been in regards to rendering. Still slow as hell.

Carrara 7 Pro runs like a bat outta hell when rendering. Its pretty cool - It does 6 blocks at a time - I assume each core is rendering a block...and it screams when rendering.

So - Yea man, The system is rock solid and I'm very very pleased.

I had to get a new scanner and a new printer since both of them were old and Cannon and HP didnt offer Win7 drivers for them.

Here is what I have so you can compare:
AMD 1055T X6 2.8GHz
8GB DDR3 SDRAM 1333MHz / 4x2GB
ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024MB GDDR5
Win 7 Pro 64 bit

I hope this helps.
Clint

Thanks for the link santolina.
I'll check it out.

Clint

Hmm...My USC might be turned off.
I havent run into any issues with the OS trying to stuff for me that I dont want it to do.

Thanks for the replies.  :)
Clint

I've been running Win 7 Pro 64bit for a few weeks and love it.

I upgraded to a AMD 1055T X6 system with 8gb RAM and an ATI 5870. Runs like a bat outta hell.

What is UAC?

I installed Poser 7 into c:ArtPoser 7 without any issues.
It runs pretty well. I'm getting ready to pickup Poser Pro and hope it will run faster.
Carrara 7 Pro runs really fast with the six core processor. It puts all 6 cores to work and renders crazy fast.

Anyway - Can you tell I'm really digg'in Win 7.

So what is the UAC thing?
