We are running W8 64 with Pervasive 10, it runs very well. We have win2000, winXP and win7 workstation. Everybody is happy here. Kelloggs

If you install 64. there is a few issues, applications like Office XP, that is a native 32, will not "see" the 64 Pervasive ODBC, vbscripts will not work either.

Pervasive 32 works very well.

To be quite honest, the 64/32 bit is a real pain in the butt.
I would install 64 only if all my workstations are Windows 7 and I have office 10

Pervasive 11 runs great on win2008 server, they also have a 32 bit and 64 bit odbc driver. they also made massive changes in handling & operating multi-core and multi-threads over the way they did it in Pervasive version 10.
see their whitepapers: http://www.pervasivedb.com/Documents/WP_The_Multi-core_Dilemma_20100723.pdf

yea, time to retire the 2000i eye I yi !! Roll Eyes

Pervasive mentions that some applications that were not written to utilize multi-core processors will run slower on them. I'd hate to see that since we're moving to a quad core server soon....

Latency, query response times, and disk read times are the major determiners of the speed the use experiences, along with the speed of their own local machine.
