I'm running 64bit Vista on my HTPC. I've had a few problems with drivers. Adobe claims that Photoshop CS2 is not compatible...They want to force an upgrade but fuck em.....It is compatible other than one small glitch that is easily worked out.

The one downside I have found is that 64bit supposedly does not support SPDIF output for digital audio. Every Dolby DTS sound card I tried had problems.

So....Now I'm sitting here with over $600.00 in very high end RAM that would be useless under a 32 bit system so I either take the RAM down to a lesser quality, slower, and smaller amount OR I lose the Dolby DTS.

Oddly enough, the on-board SPDIF jack seems to work fairly well but does not support the higher end audio.

Bastards.
