Hi all

I’ve got my development-environment on a vista Notebook. Now I’d like  
to switch to 64bit Vista because of the bad RAM-Support of the 32bit  
Vista.  
My question:  
Is RoR running on vista 64bit?

Thanks for your answers!

Regards  
Christoph

Vista64 bit, can run 32bit programs.  
So there should not be any problems.  
But last time I tried Vista64 and RoR, it was very slow, when starting  
my app.

Hi there.

I had absolutely no problems.

I just installed exactly what I had running on the 32bit version & all  
went smoothly.

Matt,  
Once in awhile when I’m feeling ‘sassy’ I write a rebutal to the many  
posts bashing Windows and proponing Apple.  
I’m not a Bill Gates disciple but don’t want to pay the ‘Apple Tax’  
for my computer.
