Here is the Win 7 memory limits
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...mits_windows_7
so I was mistaken
Home Premium is 16 GB
Home Basic is 8 GB
all other versions are 192 GB
I thought the Premium limit was higher than 16 GB
Hmmm. not sure why Vista 64-bit is only 128 GB ???

Guys, that is what I read as well but when I use resource monitor to watch it work it looks to me to use only 4 gigs. Frustrating as I know I could get things done faster. If you find anything that I am doing wrong I would be sooooo happy to know. I will throw the switch like right now!

Joe:
yes, each app has its own limits depending on whether it was programmed for 32-bit or 64-bit etc
but the question was - what is Win 7's limit

why not parallels?
I use parallels .. new MacBook Pro (june ’11 purchase). Im new to both and have not tested out Chief much, but I haven’t had any problems. Bootcamp is free .. but how to operate without multi tasking might drive me nuts!

I am curious how the AMD Radeon worked out in production. We are considering the purchase of an iMac27 i7 configuration. The only question is the AMD Radeon graphics processor. I have not seen a report card on this configuration in regard to CA. Anybody know??

Sorry I never followed up on this! As I understand it, I really cannot access all of my MAC stuff when I am booted in Bootcamp - correct?
I did buy Parallels and Im using it with Chief just fine... but recently I discovered that (even when) boosting the video sharing to 1GB, the "line drawing" will not work. I am going to install bootcamp soon to see if that corrects the problem.
FYI my video card is AMD Radeon HD 6750M

Beckysue:
running Bootcamp means Booting into PC only
CA will only support Mac's running Bootcamp

As an interior designer, PC & CA X5 user, I have been eyeing the IMac 27" for a few months and I am ready to take the plunge, bootcamp and all. Are there any other interior designers out here on chieftalk that think I might regret it? This will be my first major jump into the Apple world other than the phone and ipad. I am all ears.

When I used Mac (I switched to Win 7/8 a little over a year go), bootcamp was the ticket. I will say that some of the ATI cards in the iMac have some visual issues - and if you look it up, it was more to do with driver issues - its a well known issue to Apple.
Going back and forth drove me crazy, - and so I ended up just going with Win8 - which I now love. It took some getting used to. Obviously the Mac version of Chief can't come fast enough for you guys.X5
