I'm finally transferring to windows 7 (from XP) and have the 2 disc 32 or 64 bit version.I've read that a lot of people are experiencing problems with Jamstix using Sonar 64 bit.I'm using Sonar VS,a lite version that comes with the vs100 controller and am wondering whether it best I install windows 7 32 bit as Jamstix was running fairly smoothly in XP 32 bit.
Have most of the issues with Windows 7 64 bit in Sonar been rectified now?
I'm confused by all this bit bridge or J bridge talk Shocked

Obviously I have a 64 bit capable pc.

Jamstix should run fine for you. A good fall-back would be to install Sonar-64 AND Sonar-32 on Windows 7-64. Jamstix has no troubles running in 32-bit hosts under 64-bit OS.

Hi,
I am just curious about your computer specs. If you don't have more than 3GB of RAM, I am not sure you will benefit from installing a 64 bit OS. You could actually end up with a slower system.
Sincerely,

J.L these are the specs

- CPU: Intel Core i5 2500K 3.30GHz @ 4.50GHz Sandybridge CPU
- Motherboard: MSI P67A-GD53 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard ** B3 REVISION **
- RAM: Kingston HyperX Blue 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel
- Cooler: Cooler Master Hiper 212 Plus

I'm not particularly knowledgeable when it comes to PC's,but my friend who builds them said it's pretty good for my budget

Cheers

Hi,
Yes that is a pretty good system. I do think you should use a 64 bit operating system with it. As bar as installing 32 bit or 64 bit Sonar, if you don't have any 64 bit plug-ins, I would install the 32 bit version of Sonar. Which is, basically, what Ralph already said. I just wanted to make sure the computer would benefit from the 64 bit operating system.
