Hi Folks, doing a clean install for Vegas 9 - curious if anybody here has tried to install both the 64bit version and the 32bit version on the same machine? I am thinking of doing this in case of some videos using 32bit codecs?

And while I am asking - anybody install Vegas 9 and 8 on the same machine?

Cheers,
Chris

I've got Vegas 8.0c and 8.1 (64bit) and Vegas 9.0 32bit and 64 bit on the same computer running Vista 64bit.

So far so good! Each version running well.

Same here. Of the four versions, 32 bit 8c is the one I actually use for stability and plugin compatibility, but all four versions coexist just fine.

Same here, working mostly on V8.0c but gradually moving up to V9 32 and 64 bit.

I'm running all four versions as well. But V9 32 bit has problems -- and V9 64 bit even more problems. V8 still running like a champ. Just not running V9 completely smooth. It seems to help to close the application and reopen it. Problems disappear for a while and then come back. I'm wondering if ANYONE is really running as smoothly in V9 as in V8.

what advantages are folks seeing with the 64bit version?
is the perf any better?

more memory can be available under 64-bit windows so where memory is an issue performance increases. Even 32-bit Vegas benefits if more real RAM is available to it.

The down side is that 64-bit vista isn't as mature an environment, and neither is 64-bit Vegas. There are some plugins and codecs that don't work under 64-bit Vegas.
