Guest Charlie Russel - MVP Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 Re: 64 bit copmatibility Impossible to answer "what is best". Different reasons for different OSs. Nero (6.6 or later) runs fine in 64bit windows. Don't know Any DVD. VMWare runs fine. Do you need a 64 bit Host for a 64 bit guest with VMWare? In theory, no. But I personally wouldn't try it. What host OS? your choice entirely. -- Charlie. http://msmvps.com/xperts64 http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/charlie.russel <vyaw2003@gmail.com> wrote in message news:1184911174.792334.17700@j4g2000prf.googlegroups.com... > Hello, > I am planning to go to 64 bit. > I want to run the following apps > any dvd > nero > vmware gsx > > what should my host be? > If i use a 32 host, can i run a 64 bit virtual machine? > should i use a 64 bit host? > what is best? > ESX, vista, windows 2003, or xp >

Guest Carlos Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 Re: 64 bit copmatibility AnyDVD runs fine on x64 systems. Footnote on http://www.slysoft.com/en/anydvd.html says so.
