RS3D Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 It is time to renew my subscription. I previously used the 32-bit version of AM. I just bought a new Windows 7 Dell 64-bit machine. Does anyone have any thoughts on the pros and cons of 64-bit AM vs. continuing to use 32-bit AM on a 64-bit machine? Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted September 9, 2013 Hash Fellow Posted September 9, 2013 The good news is you can download and install both and use both with your license on your 64-bit machine. Just copy the master0.lic file from the one you activated with to the other one. the only big con of 64-bit IMO is no QuickTime for renders. Quote

Pros 64 bit: - Faster at least for computers with more than 3 GB of RAM. Cons 64 bit: - TSM and Quicktime will not work. > as Robert told you before: You can install both versions on one computer. I never use TSM or Quicktime and as that 64bit is the way to go for me. I'd say, since 32 bit computers are very uncommon today, A:M will sooner or later only be developed for 64 bit systems. But we will see... depends on how hard it is to compile it for 32bits. See ypu *Fuchur* Quote
