If you are willing to do a bit of work on finishing up the 64-bit
support, I highly recommend you get a 64-bit OS. But keep in mind
then you will have to fix things, and there will be bugs. But the
core of Pd should work fine now with 64-bit, that's been supported
for a bit. The problems will mostly be with externals.
Basically, 64-bit support is very close to being production ready, we
just need some people willing to do the last testing and fixes.

Hi all,
I'm sure this has been asked before, but searching the archives I couldn't quite get the answer I was looking for. I am getting a new desktop computer and my options for OS are 32-bit or 64-bit XP or 64-bit Vista. Sadly no Linux, so I have to cope with Windows. The CPU will be Quad-core Intel Xenon 5450.
So my question is what OS (from my options) should I choose for PD. I use PD for audio algorithm research and testing so I also write lot of externals. I suppose that with 64-bit OS it is possible to compile compatible code for 32-bit OSs. What are the main advantages and disvantages in running PD in 64-bit XP. How about running 32-bit XP in the processor that has 64-bit architecture?
Thanks for all the help...
