15 years agoSeveral years ago when I switched a design from Xilinx to Altera, one of the things I was happy about was the fact that I could get the Altera tools to work in 64 bit Windows. I was never able to get the Xilinx USB tools to work with 64 bit Windows. Of course, this is not to say that you couldn't have the exact opposite experience.
I was kinda lucky in a way though as the first version of Quartus I ever tried was 7.2 SP3. For this version 64 bit just worked. After that Altera kinda messed it up for a bit.
