VW 64 bit
Locked
 
|
Hello All,
I work with VW 7.3 and i'm interested to buy a new hardware based on 64 bit
chipset.
Solution A) System Based on Windows
For use the 64 bit VW
support i need a specific 64 bit Windows xp or new Vista?
Solution B) System based on Apple
MacBook Pro hardware and relative Operating System is a 64 bit
ready?
My
application write in VW use COM support to create Office document on Windows
plataform.
Microsoft Office 2004 per Mac include COM
support?
Solution C) System based on Linux
? ?
? ?
Any
pointers would be greatly
appreciated!
Thanks! Dario |

Hi Dario,
If you want full 64 bit on a Mac, you'll need OSX 10.5 (which isn't out yet, but due this month). Surely though, if you want to be creating MS Office docs, why would you be doing it on any platform other than Windows? Save yourself any cross-platform issues and develop on the target platform. Not specifically ST related, just my 2c :-) Graham.

Dear Dario,
first: currently there are only two 64-bit-vms for VisualWorks available: for Linux x86-64/EMT-64 and for Solaris but: usually you can run 32-bit applications under 64-bit OSs So the question is: what are your actual functional requirements? Needing to interface to MS Office? Or having 64-bit-address space for your VisualWorks app? Or...?

Why not all three? With a sufficiently powerful machine and VMWare
Server, you can. I run Ubuntu 64 on a dual core machine with Win XP 32 bit installed as a VM. The win VM accesses the network via NAT, all handled transparently by VMWare. It accesses files on the local host operating system via samba, and seems to be very stable. Start with an intel Mac. It's more expensive than a generic PC, but Apple doesn't allow running their OS on non-Apple hardware. Ensure it is at least dual-core, quad would be better. MacOSX 64 will be your host OS, and you install a linux 64 and a win 64 VM (also 32 bit versions of each OS if you want, and if you get a big enough hard disk and enough memory). If it were me, I'd get the best motherboard I could from apple, then look at the possibility of upgrading the RAM/cpu/disks/peripherals separately in case it is cheaper to do that myself.

Your comment just made me realise one of the advantages of Apple having
moved to Intel, that of upgrading the CPU. My mac's a dual G4, from those in-between-days when a cpu upgrade wasn't an option; you sold the machine with the same processor you bought it with. Perhaps it's time to raid the piggy bank... Dave Stevenson wrote: > Why not all three? With a sufficiently powerful machine and VMWare > Server, you can.
