NOTE ABOUT SSD DRIVES - 03-30-2011
    

If you use an SSD as your System drive you need to ensure that you backup your Act database before reflashing
the firmware on the SSD because after a firmware update the Act Database will not open as it will detect the PC's ID
as having changed and have to be "Restored As" from a backup.
   
Typically most SSD's will receive monthly firmware updates to fix bugs and improve performance until they have been
in production for a year or so. You do not need to install them all but last month's update for the OCZ Vertex 2 claimed
a 5% performance increase for some operations.
   
You may also want to have a second physical hard drive (this could be an external drive) containing a backup bootable system
partition as sometimes you can not reflash an SSD when it is the active system drive so you need to boot from the second drive
before you can update the SSD's firmware.

BEST WAY TO REPLACE YOUR PC RAM CHIPS!

That is based on your PC Motherboard make and model #.

Note: PC Mother-boards have RAM Limits, so if you put a 2 gig chipset in a mother-board with a 1 gig limit, you still have only 1gig of RAM and may result in pc instability?

Q: Will ACT! 10 run on Windows XP & Vista & Windows 7 ? YES? If it is a 32-bit operating system-

Read below-This came from ACT website link 03-10-08..

A: ACT SQL servers use a 32-bit Operating System http://www.act.com/64bit/#what

B: 06-04-09 Update: ACT! now runs on 32 and 64 Bit operating Systems.

Q. How is a 64-bit version of Windows different from a 32-bit version of Windows?
A. 64-bit typically refers to how a computer’s processor handles information. A 64-bit version of Windows requires a 64-bit processor. Operating systems are either 32 bit or 64 bit. Most machines come with a 32 bit operating system. Unless you are running applications that are 64 bit, there is little need to have a 64 bit operating system. [top]

Q. What are typical 64-bit client operating systems?
A. Microsoft Windows XP Professional X64 Edition or Windows Vista™ 64-bit editions for the various brands, e.g. 64-bit Windows Vista Home Premium or 64-bit Windows Vista Ultimate. [top]

Q. Will ACT! run on a machine that uses a 64-bit processor?
A. Yes, as long as the operating system is a 32-bit version. [top]

Q. Can I install ACT! on a 64-bit client operating system?
A. Currently, ACT! cannot be installed on a 64-bit client operating system. ACT! is a 32-bit application which works with 32-bit database software. Modifications to ACT! are required to support the installation and use on 64-bit operating systems. We are currently working on these changes. Continue to check this site for updated information. In the meantime, we recommend that you install a 32-bit operating system unless there are specific applications that require the use of a 64-bit operating system. [top]

Q. Can I connect ACT! to a shared database which runs a 64-bit version of Microsoft SQL Server™?
A. Currently, ACT! does not connect to a 64-bit version of Microsoft SQL Server. ACT! only supports a 32-bit version of Microsoft SQL Server. We are currently working on this support. Continue to check this site for updated information. [top]

Q. Will there be a 64-bit version of ACT!?
A. The ACT! team is focusing on providing installation support for 32-bit ACT! on 64-bit Vista operating systems. We are currently researching the benefits of using a 64-bit version of ACT! but, currently, we do not believe there are substantial benefits to end users. [top]
