I think we're being asked often enough now about 64 bit (mainly Vista) to justify a FAQ. I thought something like this: "Current versions of Audacity should run on 64-bit systems, and have been tested on 64-bit Windows Vista and Linux. On Windows and Linux, working sound card drivers specific to the 64-bit operating system will be required, so these must be updated if upgrading from a 32-bit to 64-bit operating system. Generally speaking, 64-bit systems will use more physical memory than 32-bit systems. Users upgrading from 32-bit Windows XP to 64-bit Windows Vista should take this and the increased system demands of Vista into account when considering Audacity's <a href="http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/windows#sysreq">system requirements</a>. Another suggestion for the last sentence (maybe better): "Users upgrading from 32-bit Windows XP to 64-bit Windows Vista should make especially sure their computer is well above Audacity's minimum <a href="http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/windows#sysreq"> system requirements</a>. I figured I might link to this FAQ from the Windows download pages. Any suggestions for improvement welcome.
