Every report suggests this is gonna be the next XP and it's gonna kick ass.

My issue is that I'm hoping everything runs well on the 64bit version, because the 3-4gb ram limit is getting old.

Yes, it runs better the 64 bit version than the x86, so no worries ;) just sit and wait the software developers to make the change.

And, it's very stable IMHO, I've using it with Live 7 and no problems. Like 1 and a half week now and no errors or any problems. Good. An it's just a BETA. (build 7057 here)

How does Live perform in Windows 7 compared to XP? Any major changes is CPU usage or latency?

was running great on build 7000, cpu usage was exactly as in XP, but now, having it updated to 7057, the graphics went slow and jerky, meters lag, vst controls lag... i tried different video drivers, native ATI and the one from M$ [ati radeon HD2400 xt] with equal lack of success.. also the overall feeling of the system is kind of degraded if compared to build 7000. i'm afraid that the RTM version will be ballasted down even more to be a descent sucksessor to Vista...

you need to be on 7.0.14 or later and you need to run Live in compatability mode for Vista

Imaulle, man, but does that mean that we need to upgrade Abe everytime the OS build is updated?))

today, that 'windows 7' driver v.9.3 from ati started giving me BSODs!

in fact, i resolved the issue by rolling back the ati native driver to a previous version. [which is, funny enogh, is not targeted for win7, only for Vista]. now the graphics are as smooth as it was before.
