Decklink HD Extreme — how does this sucker work??

[Jeff Nelson]

Hi Mike:

I have 5 gigs of ram, 2 512’s and 4 1 gig pieces, so they are in equal pairs, as required.

On the page you linked above to the blackmagic site, they say 2 gigs of ram is recommended for SD, and “at least” 4 gigs for HD, but nothing about an upper limite (i.e. “too much” ram), so I would think 5 gigs would be okay. Kristian??

Hard to understand why my box won’t simply recognize it being there, although on some level it is, since it opened the Expansion Slot Utility when I booted up after installing.

I’m kind of perplexed at the moment. I *do* have the PCIe version, by the way. Thanks.

Absolutely correct. Let me know how it goes after the exchange.

Thanks, Kristian, and thanks Mike. The dealer said he had to order another one, and I should have it by the end of the week. Will let you guys know. Thanks again.
