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

We made the same jump about 2 months ago. Running Symphony 5.0.3 on Vista 64 with 12 gigs of RAM. I won't say that it's "crash free", but it's light years ahead of where we were on XP Pro. The shows I'm onlining now wouldn't have even opened on the old box.
