This IS the Avid L2: [Avid-L2] Making the 32-64bit Leap

Afternoon everyone,

So, I upgraded to V5 Symphony a few months back, at the start of a new
project. In the early stages of the edit, I was making simple cuts, and
V5 Symphony was looking swell. Then, as I started getting more involved
with the application, doing more intricate things, my HPXW8600 running
Vista Business 32bit started crashing an awful lot... Whenever I was
doing anything complex, or zipping around the timeline.

I wondered if everyone else was experiencing this, and kinda dismissed
it as the price you pay for being at the cutting edge of the industry.
That, and just being so damn busy, trying to work with the footage with
my director led me not to question the crashing.

Today though, with a bit of time on my hands, I decided to look a little
closer at the situation... It was getting silly, with me saving my work
after virtually every single edit.

So I started searching the Internet to see if others were experiencing
my 'Std: bad allocation', 'Fatal Error' and 'Core Unable To Do' errors,
that would let me save my work, but then have to restart the
application... nine or ten times a day.

Imagine my surprise when I learned that Symphony V5 isn't qualified on a
32bit Vista!

So, before I take the plunge and install Windows 7 Professional, I'd
just like to ask anyone with a similar setup, are you crash-free? Is
everyone else going through this too? Will Windows 7 Pro eliminate all
my woes?

Job? Think you've got a similar setup, don't you?

Thanks everyone,
CP
