Anyone Using Windows 7 32-bit?

Thinking of a new build, but I have Vegas 8.0

I know Vegas 8.1 didn't work very well with Windows 7 64-bit and I assume one can no longer purchase Vegas 9 so has anyone used Windows 7 32-bit with Vegas 8 or 9?

I don't want any of the newer versions of Vegas that are GPU dependent.

Thanks,

John

The new versions are not GPU dependent. They can use a GPU but they do not have to. I don't use it. One computer is running Win 7 64 bit with Vegas Pro 12 and the other is windows 10 with Vegas Pro 12. Both are Core 2 duo computers with 4gig memory. Slow to render, but rock solid and are happy not using GPUs.

There is no reason for anyone to every use a 32-bit operating system again. Don't do it.

Vegas Pro 8.0c will work perfectly fine with Windows 7 64-bit. You don't need a 32-bit OS to run 32-bit programs. You will be doing your self such a disservice by limiting your OS to 32-bits that it's not worth it.

You can use Windows 7 64-bit with any software that runs on Windows 32-bit to 64-bit including Vegas Pro 8.0c. Why limit yourself?

Hi John,

I searched old posts on the subject and it sure seemed like Vegas 8.0 c wouldn't work with Windows 7 64-bit.

Now that you posted this I went back and dug further and it appears you are right. Vegas 8.0c will probably work with64-bit Windows 7.

Thanks John,

John

I run Vegas Pro 8.0c under Win7 64-bit. Have for a long time. No problems.

Been running 8.0c for years on my quad i5 16GB memory 64bit machine, next to Vegas 12. 8c is rock solid, 12 not so much, kind of quirky.
