Hauppauge WinTV PVR 250

[kenmo]

Hi....

I'm thinking of updating my computer from Windows XP 32 bit to Vista 64..... However at the
Hauppauge site I only see Vista 32 drivers.... Will these drivers work with Vista 64?

I'd prefer a 64 bit os to get past the 4 gb memory limit of Win32...

Cheers

Probably not.

What do you do that requires more than 4 GB?

This.

I had a PVR-250 but I don't think I ever tried installing it on my machine since I had two of the newer Hauppauge HD tuners instead. I am thinking since the driver is dated 2005 that it isn't going to work with a 64-bit OS. Vista 32 maybe.

3D rendering, photo editing on large raw files, Corel Painter, etc...

Take a peek at my gallery....

There's a 64 bit version of Corel Painter?

Well the new version of PS and the patch for Lightwave will let them address more than 4GB. I think 3ds Max is also 64-bit native now as well. I don't think the Corel suite is up to that just yet.

Why would you want the TV tuner on the same system? Just leave it in a separate box and build up the workstation.

I realize there is 64 bit 3D rendering software. A 32 bit image editor will benefit from a 64 bit OS and lots of memory if there are big 3d renderings going on in the background. I just wanted to make sure the OP understood that you don't automatically get more performance by jumping to a 64 bit OS.

I use e-on's Vue Pro Studio and version 7 is now available in a 64 bit version.... Posters at Renderosity and at e-on's forum claim there is a big difference in rendering large scenes in Vue 64....

Because I want to....

I think that's not allowed
