Ali --

Windows Vista has not been released, in fact it has now been delayed until Q2 2007. 3ds max will run on Windows XP 64 perfectly well, however you will not see any significant performance boost until max is recompiled in 64-bit.

Thanks for answer
well i havent tested the 61-bit vista but i was thinking about this matter. well we shall wait for 64-bit compiled version of max. discreet and other softwares should take this step to stay in the market.
