Decklink HD/adobe premiere/Vista 64
Hi
Just orderd a Decklink HD Extreme card – now I wonder if I would gain anything if I install Vista 64 instead of XP 32. Adobe premiere pro CS3 will still be a 32 bit application – would it not?

Hi Bo
You are correct sir! Adobe Premiere is still a 32bit application, and while i have heard good things about the way 64bit windows supports 32bit applications, having spoken to Adobe support, they do not certify Premiere for 64bit windows (as of around 3 weeks ago).
If you go 64bit your biggest real advantage is the ability for Windows to recognise more than 4 gig of ram. That said, 4 gig on a 32bit XP install is ample for most HD work, and in my opinion a more stable platform. At the moment you’ll probably find support for other 32bit applications more abundant.
My two cents.

I’ve been using HD Extreme CS3 with Vista 64 for months now and it works great. More available memory, and more stability. Make sure all your hardware supports 64 or you’ll be on the express elevator to hell.

Yeah, I’ve been using Decklink HD extreme PCIe with Vista 64 and CS3 too and the latest versions have added more stability lately especially in audio, so nothing to worry about.
