vista 64 bits

Hi Christophe,

Been using ISE9.1 with Vista Ultimate x64 for the last few months. Compiles my projects without any problem.

Only problem I've had is the non-signed parallel/usb drivers from Xilinx won't install with the final release versions of Vista X64, since you can no longer disable the driver-signing checks as you could with the pre-release versions of Vista(AFAIK).

Programming files are saved to a network shared directory, and another machine running XPhome is used to actually program the hardware. Cumbersome, but the machine running vista is considerably higher spec, and compiles projects in a third of the time as the old XP box.

Come on Xilinx. **PLEASE** release some signed hardware drivers!! Ditto Altera.......

Come on Microsoft, let the user do what they want with their _own_ hardware.

Unlikely to happen, since Microsoft is trying to be Hollywood's best friend in the lets-screw-the-user game.

Thanks for your answer, i take note that 32 bits ISE runs under vista 64 bits.

But my original question was of course a 64 bits ISE version running on Vista 64 bits. The goal is to break the 3 GB memory limit.
