Not necessarily. Check with your OEM.

Only if all of your drivers and plugins are supported on a 64 bit platform. |

| You can also just run 64 bit OS and the 32 bit version of Cubase for stability insurance. :) |

| Just go 64bit, most likely it will not give you any trouble whatsoever. |

I dont think you will have a 64 bit version on your disk, i thought they were sold seperately
If you are going 64 bit just check there are drivers available for all hardware you have and you should be laughing |

| ill check on the disk to see if they have both versions, i heard i may have to pay more money to microsoft for an upgrade and do a clean install. but if most of my stuff is fine ill just stay with 32 bit. |

How much ram do you have?
int x = your RAM in GB;
if x < 4 {
printf("Don't upgrade.");
} else {
printf("Install 64-bit.");
}
As simple as that...in C. |

or
int x = your ram in GB;
return (x < 4) ? "Don't upgrade" : "Install 64-bit";
C# shorthand conditional. |

True, but it tends to be the drivers, rather than the applications, that cause the most trouble in 64-bit land.
Nevertheless, 64-bit has been around for over 5 years now; any hardware or software manufacturer still putting out products incompatible with x64 has no business being the industry. |

That's the old C# math. The new C# math is:
var junk = computer.InstalledApps.Where(a => !a.SupportedPlatforms.Contains(Platform.X64));
foreach (var crap in junk) { crap.Uninstall(); }
You're welcome.

Yeah, but I like the LINQ stuff. I use a ton of Generic collections so I like being able to search with SQL like syntax and EF has the potential to replace 3rd party ORM tools such as iBatis, Hibernate and Spring once it matures. |

Lol, that's so 3.5 of you, we already have EF 4, Linq to SQL and Linq to NHibernate. Now all the cool kids are talking about concurrency, RX, the DLR and metaprogramming. :p
