  Yes it’s limited to 3GB. Since the MacPros require matched pairs of RAM your limited to two 1GB sticks. (I’m not sure if you can get 512MB sticks for MacPro)

  But if i want to use meny apps at the same time then i’m in trouble ?

  I think it is possible to get 1 gigs with 512 stics (2*512).
  So it is possible to get 6 x 512 in theory.

  Do you know if there will be newer version of driver which corrects this problem ?

  They say they will support more than 3GB in a future release of Decklink. When that is I’m not sure.

  Does this apply to the HD cards as well or is it limited to the Standard Def cards?

  Thanks
