I just got some extra mem... taking my pc from 2 to 6gb :-)

So now I need a 64bit OS.... I tried WinXP64 but that is just to buggy - crashes all the time.
So.... that leaves me with:
- win2003 server
- vista 64x
- win2008 server
- solaris x64
- no... not linux - I refuse

any thoughts ?

Have you really any choice but Vista64bit?

I don't think that any 64-bit OS is ready for prime-time yet. I'm using windows xp 64-bit, and it's stable enough. The big problem is the drivers; they're just not up to scratch. Then there are silly things such as 64-bit programs not being able to do certain things because, for example, the video codecs are still 32-bit.

Leopard works fine on my Core2Duo :-)

Ok, maybe I might have to revise my statement. Is Leopard 64-bit as stable and functional as Leopard running in 32-bit? Or are there little things that don't quite work as they should?

No, Leopard is the same on my G4 as my Core2Duo... other than the obvious performance difference... it's the same experience :-/
