Subject : 64 vs 32bit systems: implications
Hi all,

we're currently investigating the possibility of moving our 3D operations on 64bit Windows systems. This means a lot of things obviously and turns up a lot of questions:

- Render farm management
- XSI 32bit plugins runnable in XSI 64bit?
- Application support
- 32bit applications on 64bit systems, possible?
- Perl on 64bit systems
- Python on 64bit systems
- What do 64bit systems mean to a 3D department beyond larger memory addressing?


If anyone would like to share their experiences and/or performance observations I'd really like to hear.

	Thanks!
