[QUOTE="AIstudio, post: 381894, member: 63135"] I have been using VISTA 64 Ultimate for a while. I was on Vista 32 and had several issues with mainly controller type devices, sleep and the lack of support for more than 3.? Gb of ram (that is the 32 bit limitation not OS specific). I was concerned with going to Vist 64bit due to drivers etc. Once installed everything seemed to be working very well. Now that I have got back into configuring things all is not well. The drivers for my Nova T500 TV tuner have issues with over a certain amount of ram, memory leak. They say over on there forum that it probably wont be fixed any time soon either. Still having LOTS of problems getting in and out of sleep, tuners not initialising and cant connect to the tv service. Tried MPstandby handler but it appears that doesn't support vista 64 bit either. I would say look at your hardware first. Look at the programs that you will be using to control your htpc to make sure that they will work. I haven't given up on Vista 64 yet and hopefully I will iron out the issues. One thing IS for certain, for me anyway, it is no more buggy than Vista 32 bit or XP32 bit for me. All the OS's seem to have problems in one area or another. It just seems to depend on your hardware as to which of the OS's will be the less of the evils lol Regards Kev [/QUOTE]
