FAQ on 64 bit Audacity


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

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.
