It will work under certain conditions:
Texas Instrument 1394 chipset is almost essential, I say almost because I have run without it before.
You ARE limited to 2 gigs of ram, this is purely a motu problem.
I recommend looking at e-mu if you are having doubts, they use the same converters as the 192 PT HD system and can be had quite cheap, work flawlessly in Vista 64.

I've had utterly no luck with the ultralite in vista 64 - the distributor in OZ told the guy who sold it to me that the vista 64 drivers were top notch and worked perfectly - wel well well, i dont think I've found anyone that has this unit working in vista 64......I'm still trying to work out how to update the firmware to see if it will fix it.
I've got a monster of a machine- the firewire is TI - what really annoys me about this is the fact that i bought this to replace a tascam unit that simply wouldn't work in vista - I'm not going to use it on xp - i already have stuff that works with xp - the point was it was supposed to work in vista.
motu sure hit it off poorly with me - I'll say that much.

I have to ask, is motu aware of the 4gb bug? Are they working on it? And Iomegaman, why are you sure it's motus problem? Am just wondering since i have no idea.
Would be great if we could have a WinX64 sticky
. Maybe if there is someone from motu or something that could give us a few updates, not like complete information, but just a little information on the proggress!

Pretty sure its a driver problem from motu, the reason I think so is because the ram memory limit in Vista has been changed from XP so the old way of thinking where you write the memory stack to a limited address is gone in Vista (not EXACTLY but sorta).
In XP 32 bit you are basically limited to 2 gigs of ram (there are workarounds but kinda techy) and in XP 32/64 the ultralite works fine, it also works fine if I physically remove 2 of the 4 gigs in Vista 64 ultimate...so...I am making an assumption that its a driver issue...
