ok im upgrading my pvr box currently its an athlon xp 2700 with a gig of ddr 400 ram, im questioning which platform would be better the amd 64 (probbly 3000+) or a 3.0Ghz P4 630 EM64T will probbly keep the gig of ram for now, I currently have a PVR 250 and a PVR 500 and am usually recording 2 shows and watching live tv, also should i look into getting a64 bit os, are there plans for upgrading gb-pvr to a 64 bit application? ideas thoughts suggestions?

There would need to be 64 bit drivers for the capture devices before this can happen.

I'll probably make sure it runs on 64 bit soon after drivers are made available. I'm guessing it'd already run.

I suspect Hauppauge will release 64 bit drivers for the PVR150, PVR500 soon. The PVR250/350 drivers will be either much later or never.

Sub,

Looking to upgrade my pvr and looking at an AMD Athlon 64 3200+ with 1 gig of ram (HP A1206n on sale at Circuit City). Will this do about anything in GBPVR (transcoding on the fly, etc.) or should I be looking at something else?

If you really need that much CPU to do dedicated PVR stuff, you may as well get a socket 939 dualcore Wink
For a dedicated PVR running gbpvr, I would think an Athlon of about 1.5ghz should be plenty.
If you're multitasking (encoding, internet, PVR, etc.), then get as much horsepower as you can afford.
You can never have enough tuners!

This is the same processor as I'm using.

I will be upgrading soon too. I will surely go for one of the new 90 nm Athlon 64's. They run so much cooler (plenty of comparative tests available).

Just look out that yr new mobo supports fan throtling they do not all offer this option.

Thanks for the replies, looks like I'm heading to Circuit City. The only bummer is it will be a Christmas present to the family so I won't be able to play with it for a while....

What AMD processor would you guys recommend for a dedicated PVR system? The most it would be doing simultaneously is recording to 2 tuners,transcoding to divx and streaming to 2 MVPs.
