Help, I got the laptop thinking it would be the best investment going into the new Vista 64bit. We've been editing on XP and using Adobe CS3. Now I don't know if CS3 will work on Vista 64bit. I'm told CS4 solves this problem and does work. Anyone out there using these or know of someone who does and can tell me what to purchase?
Thanks, Lin

I know people who use CS3 on Vista64. So I am sure that CS4 would work also. Also, with a full load of ram, it should DEFINITELY help out with the work.

So to your question, yes... CS4 should work just fine, dependent on the RAM for smoother designing.

I do a TON of video editing for my job. CS3 works fine in Vista 64-bit. CS4 just works better/faster even though it's still a 32-bit app.

When we first got new machines over a year ago with Vista 64, we had a lot of problems with CS3 running and most switched to XP. I chose to just use VMWare to run an XP virtual machine in Vista 64 and run CS3 there. However, since the latest service pack, we've had no issues running CS3 or CS4 in Vista 64-bit.
