hehehe I am just saying that I use my HTPC for everything. If there is no real benefit to 64-bit over 32-bit, then why is anyone bothering with 64-bit? From what I read, it won't benefit most users. From what I know as a software engineer, I would concur.

More important question: if I zip my GB-PVR installation and unzip it to the Vista dir, will it just work? Or are there going to be issues communicating with the same tuner cards, EPG download, existing recordings on another drive, etc?

thats what i would do but since you said strange things are happening
maybe just use the config file and the db3
do a recordings dump to get your recording xml dump file incase it doesnt work

I also use my HTPC for web browsing, development, games, etc. So I assume there would be a benefit to moving to 64-bit with the other tasks.

I put x64 on my new machine. It runs a fair bit faster. As long as your drivers/apps all work on x64, you would probably benefit since you are doing more than just HTPC. I loaded it for the same reasons. Unfortunately, I'm working on a plugin for BD/HD DVD playback using the ArcSoft decoders and they play back 5.1 DTS-MA at double speed on x64 when used outside of TMT. So I think I'm headed back to x86.

GB-PVR is behaving fine, it's other things that have been weird lately. Worst offender is my wireless Lexmark printer ... I can connect to it with web browser from my HTPC, but can't print to it wirelessly. My laptop can print wireless to the Lexmark. I've tried uninstall/reinstall of Lexmark SW, even chatted with their Tech Support and spoke to them over phone, and they can't suggest anything I haven't tried. I've had other things over the past few years that have mysteriously broke, and then I manually fix them. I think it's time to start over, and figured I may as well go the latest OS, which is Vista x64.
