    hi all,


    I want to move to windows7 and I also want to get a sat tv card dvb-s2, which appareently is very heavy in ressources.

    My question is: what Windows7 version would you use for this set up?
    A standard 32 bit or a 64 bit version?

    cheers

    I'd go with 32-bit unless you're going to need more than 4GB of RAM, which you won't if you're just using it for TV and films etc.
    I have 64-bit on mine, and I'm going to reformat and go back to 32-bit. 32-bit performs a bit better.
