Our firm currently has Revit 2009. Our computers are atleast 3 - 5 years old and have Windows XP (32 bit). We desperatly need to upgrade and we would like to use Windows 7 (64 bit). However, I can't find a solid answer on if Revit 2009 will work on Windows 7. So if someone could enlighten me on this issue it would be greatly appreciated. Also, how do I find out if our version of Revit 2009 is 32 bit or 64 bit?

Always ask your Autodesk Reseller. That's what they are there for. They will not have the answer but they will get it. I do not know for sure myself but my common sense says NO. REVIT 2009 was built 4 years before Windows 7 was released. Like you I would be very interested in the correct answer to this question however.

Personally I wouldn't attempt to run Revit 2009 on a Win7 64 bit. If you need to upgrade to new computers, by all means go to Win7 64 bit, but then establish XP32 bit virtual machines to run the old 32bit software including Revit. Microsoft has some virtual machine solutions, but I use VMWare which has PC and Mac versions. I have a Mac and run the old Revit versions in XP 32bit and the new Revit's in Win7 64 bit. Just my 2 cents.

If I do the XP32 bit virtual machine to run Revit 2009, will Revit use all of the extra RAM, I am pushing for 8 GB, or will it still only see 3, or whatever the max is for XP32 bit?

WinXP 32 bit will only see the 3GB (assuming you allocate at least 3GB host RAM to the VM) Not sure if the 3GB switch can be activated in VM. In either case Since WinXp 32 bit is limited in RAM, Revit can only use what the VM is capable of.

Alright. Thank you all for your help and insight. I think the plan is we are going to get new machines, it just depends on if we want to spend more money on updating Revit or not. How much better is Revit 2010 and 2011?

The difference between 2009 and 1010-11 is incredible. You really should be on subscription so you can always have the newest version.

if any reseller tells you that you should be on anything other than 64-bit software and 64-bit OS. then i would find a new re-seller. Now if you insist not to change or it just possible at the moment, then he's done his job and should then help you implement what you want.
