Hi, yes, we do have 2 computers using the 64 bit Athlon processor and JAWS
works just fine.
Until VISTA will support the 64 bit architecture and JAWS will also use it I
am not going to move up (down) to VISTA.
Perhaps in about a year?

Note: I've changed the subject to reflect its content.
Hi Sean,
No, not at this point.  There is a Freedom Scientific bullcctin that deals
with it.  The answer is:
JAWS does not support 64-bit Windows (even
Vista) under 64-bit processors (see below for exceptions).
* You can in fact install 32-bit version of Windows on a x64 processor such
as AMD Athlon
64 or Intel Core II Duo.
Windows Vista DVD's are produced in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.  Retail
version of Ultimate has both DVD's, but other versions only come with 32-bit
DVD.
Cheers,
Joseph
