I am runningg windows 7. manny From: D!J!X! Sent: Tuesday, August 31, 2010 3:59 PM To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ddots-l] Re: attempted at 64 bit Are you running in an administrator account? What OS are you using, windows7 or vista? The difference is that with 64 bit you can actually use more than 2gb of ram, which is good if you're using lots of samples and working with big projects. Also there's slight speed improvements when using native 64 bit stuff...

I guess my question would ve why was I not able to use 64 version and what is the difference between both. and what is the benefit of using 64 bit. thank you manny
