64-bit Windows Drivers

Fantom G included,

Uh, can someone please tell me what advantages this has?
Seriously, have yet to understand the 32-64bit difference, except for speed in processing, but in this case with a keyboard, what is the benefit? Faster file transfer, wider throughput? Uh. . . ?

If your using a 64 bit version of windows you will need 64 bit drivers.
The main advantage of 64 bit is larger memory over 4Gb.
This is useful for bif vsts such as Omnisphere, bfd 2 etc
You can use 64 bit versions of Cubase or Sonar.
The futur is definately 64 bit but how long it becomes mainstream is any one guess. Prehaps when Windows 7 is out....

I LOVE Omnisphere, and granted Snow Leopard alongside Windows 7 are gonna rock our worlds. and I get how it relates to this computer world, but not in the case of Fantom G drivers. . . what benefits. . . we'll be able to put 4GB of RAM into our Fantoms??? I seriously doubt it.

I think your missing the point.

The 32 bit drivers don't work on the 64 bit operating systems. We use 64 bit because it lets us have more than 3GB of system memory in our computers. Without the 64 bit drivers we couldn't use the USB connection.

Make up your mind, you couldn't use the USB or the RAM??? Never mind, got it, simply gives you compatibility with Windows Vista which is a 64 bit OS. And a GREAT one at that (sarcasm). Hopefully Win 7 brings better experience for you all.

Am I overheard something? Who said 64 bit driver for Fantom? Is it released? I just ordered monster lap top with 32 bit only becayuse Fantom was not supporting 64 bit yet. Is there 64 bit driver for Fantom that lets you use USB/Audio?

Ugh- thanks. I just saw it. So what do I do now? Should I call Dell and cancel my order and reorder 64 bit? I was scared to use 64 because I am using Sonar and was going to move lots of project files from 32 bit Windows XP desk top to Vista Lap top. Any one had such experience?

I have nothing to make my mind up over.. I'm not trying to be sarcastic here at all. It was my first post and I thought I explained what you asked.

You never asked if windows 7 was a better operating system. Sorry If I misread your question (sarcasm) ;)
