3GB RAM, Vista 64 and ultralite is that working?

Post by project »

I just ordered more RAM and it will be here Wednesday. i currently have 4 sticks of 512 i am replacing two of them with 1GB sticks so i will have 3GB.

i heard you cant use 4GB in Vista 64 with the Ultralite.

I'm thinking about purchasing the Ultralite to run under Vista 64 and I have 8 GB installed? Do you mean that if I have over 3 GB that Ultralite won't work? Why the heck would THAT be - why would the amount of memory installed make a difference? :?

Nevermind. I sorted through the posts and understand the GB issue.

Although this seems to be solved by a BETA update, I'm REALLY surprised that the officially released driver for Vista 64 is dated January 15, 2007! :shock: That seems WAY too long to have this problem out there. Is this typical of MOTU Windows support? I've always heard that MOTU caters to Mac users, so PC users should stay away.

Ummm...yeah MOTU likeys those Steve Jobs appliances a little more, but o biggie they do get around to supporting Billybob Gates.

You WILL need the beta driver anything over 2 gigs is just not gonna work.

my new system is a Vista x64, Quadcore with 8 GB RAM and my Motu 8 pre doesn't work! So think about if you just wanna use Vista x64
