How about 64bit windows 7? I understand that PT is still 32bit, but does the fact that windows 7 is 64bit mean that a larger video card (say, 1GB like this Radeon) will not matter as much? In other words, with say 6 or 8GB of RAM running on win7 64bit with a 1GB video card is this larger size vid memory less of an issue? Does win7 64bit allow better utilization of larger memory sizes (6, 8, or 12GB RAM)? EDIT: oops, meant this to be in the LE forum w/ MBOX2 - does this matter?

Thanks.
