Running FM9 (and TCS2) on 64-bit systems

[Matt Sullivan]

In listening to various sources discuss this, can someone clarify this issue
for me?

Does Frame automatically run in 32-bit mode on a Vista 64-bit system, or do
you have to do setup to get it to run properly.

FrameMaker certainly does run on Vista 64-bit and runs exceptionally well!
I ran FrameMaker 8 and now FrameMaker 9 in that environment without any
problem whatsoever.

What is true is that FrameMaker is a 32-bit application. Vista 64-bit runs
32-bit applications without a problem in 32-bit mode. What you do gain
running a program like FrameMaker under Vista 64-bit is the ability of
support much larger amounts of real memory (I run with 8 gigabytes) and thus
run the risk of less paging activity to kill performance when running
multiple applications concurrently! Also, I have found Vista 64-bit to be
rock solid, running for weeks on end without reboots; my only reboots being
necessary for the monthly "Patch Tuesday" Microsoft OS updates.
