I agree. As a 32bit app Avid can only access 4GB of the RAM.
A 64 bit OS does allow more than 4GB to be accessed so MC can get to all of 4GB and not share it with the OS.
But unless you need to run RAM hungry apps in the background (not a good idea) then 6-8 GB is plenty.
Also classic Nitris isn't supported on Win 7 64 bit ( and we've tried it and found it unstable)
So it's vista 64 or XP 32 for classic Nitris.
DX and you can go Windows 7 64.
