Totally. I just think there's a lot of Chicken Little going on about Vista, when it's really too early to tell. By all means don't switch unless you need to for other reasons (like moi) and if you do, then expect to wait for the hardware manufacturers to catch up with good drivers.

WaveRT doesnt support Firewire, so thats not likely to be your next generation PRO Audio solution. Fine for games on soundblasters, but definately not for Pro Audio.

To add, check out the July Sound on Sound article on Vista for Pro Audio.

O.K., we get it: you don't like Vista. It's not as good as XP as far as performance, at this time. I will grant you. I think predicting the future (RME's quote there) is just foolish, IMHO. Problems get ironed out over time, as we've seen with OS's before.

My point is, that's not what I'm talking about. I have a specific problem with this (x64 Vista) driver: I can't hear any audio with WDM/KS, ASIO, not even ASIO4all, in P5 or in Sonar, which are all I use. I have everything routed correctly. I need it fixed.

Let's not forget Microsoft have designed WaveRT in such as way as to exclude Firewire audio devices; that's not exactly making it easy for the hardware manufacturers .... nor does it help that they are requiring DRM support to be built into the hardware before getting Vista logo certification -- the surest indication yet that Microsoft have very little interest in serving the pro audio community.

This is an either/or problem (OS or hardware) and I received an email today from Presonus telling me where to download the new driver to fix this same problem with a Firepod. It's a beta version but it did get my audio up and running. I'm sure Motu is working on it also.

My 828 mkii is working fine with Vista 64 (I have 2GB ram installed, using the current drivers). However the difference is I'm using the USB version. My current wonderment is that the Motu audio console does not allow me to set a latency any lower than 512 samples per buffer.

If you have 4 gig, it's probably the 4 gig bug. I spoke to tech support and they suggested trying it with 2G, which worked. It is a known problem and they're (hopefully) working on it...

Oh that's great news, thanks. I do have 4gb.

I try vista with a multiface RME and work sometime with 1024 buffer... and no plugins.
With XP is a super computer, I can work with 64 buffer.

Is not possible use vista for audio now.

For what it's worth, you can use 3 GB RAM too (2x1024, 2x512), without requiring Windows to change its memory mapping model.

However, it's usually much preferable to use only two RAM modules, because you then can lower the latency of the RAM compared to using four sticks, and you get a slightly better tag cache hit on the CPU too. Faster RAM is usually preferable to more RAM once you have "enough". For DAW use, more RAM doesn't really help much, but speedier RAM may.
If you run Photoshop, yes, put in 3 GB, but there's few programs like that which will truly use whatever RAM you put in and slowly swap to disk if 2 GB isn't enough.

I'm using vista 64 for audio - interface is a focusrite saffire 26 i/o, the drivers are a bit buggy - ocasional weirdness - however the performance is excellent, I'm not entirely convinced by some of the negative feedback.

I couldn't get the ultralite to run in vista - and what was VERy annoying was that the tech support didn't mention the 4 gig bug until i brought it up - even then they didn't aknowledge it existed untill i pressed VERY hard.

I'd like an ultralite - it's size and I/O made alot of sense for what i wanted - however it's been a LONG time since drivers were posted, so I'm not holding my breath.....
