Which is better for a CF config? Vista 32 or 64bit?

[bamacre]

I assume this is a driver question. So, would Vista 64bit be ok for a CF setup, or should I stick with Vista 32bit?

Oh, one more question, should I go ahead and install both cards, or install one, then install the OS, drivers, then the second card, or what?

TIA!

I am using CF 4850's on an Abit IP-35 Pro (soon to be Asus P5Q-E) with Vista x64 no probs.

I started with one card and then added the second, however, I couldn't get the driver to load with the second card (just showed standard VGA adapter). I uninstalled the driver, added the second card, and then installed the driver and then it showed up ok and Crossfire showed enabled in the CCC.

Thanks, Mucker. Very helpful!

NP, you need the hotfix driver for the 4850's (see Most recent topics header....4800 series hotfix): http://support.ati.com/ics/sup...default.asp?deptID=894
