You can turn off the signed driver thing on x64 by editing the bootfile. I
do it with EasyBSD. Works like a charm =)

Emne: Re: Working in Linear Space in XSI
I tried to find out about the max available RAM for 32bit (Vista/XP).
It´s frustrating...especially when realizing the OS itself demands 1-2 GB...

-and-x64-maximum-supported-ram-physical-memory-limit/
Vista64, on the other hand, with it´s 16-128GB RAM limit, only accepts
signed drivers - which costs money for validation and slows things down
more.
soob. It´s as if you had Picasso´s canvas size and colors restricted or
denied
guys like Da Vinci and Michelangelo to work with human forms. What a
pi(e)ta...
Cheers
