Hi. I have Comcast digital cable and until recently have been fine using my Hauppage WinTV PVR 150, and more recently 500. However, I upgraded to 4gb of ram and Vista x64, and neither card works. I am looking for a card that would let me continue using media center. I have also heard that with some cards you do not need a STB, is that true? thanks.

-Core 2 Quad, 2.4ghz
-4gb Ram
-Nvidia 8500
-Soundblaster Audigy
-Comcast Digital Cable

Prefer PCIe, but PCI is OK

Have you taken out the memory and seen if the cards work again? If so then there might be a BIOS setting / update that might make 4 GB RAM work with the cards....

send an email to Hauppage and tell them about your situation. They'll send you beta drivers for systems with 4GB of RAM. My HVR-1600 didn't work right in Vista64 with 4GB of RAM until I updated my driver to the beta version
