Is There An Issue With Edius NX Board With Vista 64?

[psfx]

Are there any known issues with running an Edius NX board in a Vista 64 bit system that would preclude one from being installed?

As long as you have a 64bit compatible mother board, CPU etc...and the correct slots for the hardware...then no reason at all not to run on 64bit Vista with NX.

See my signature. It is exactly the config you are asking for. I run it without any problems at all. My NX is not the Express kind - but the PCI-X kind - better than the more commonly available Express slot version.

No problems with my set up.

Excellent. I truly appreciate the feedback. I will go ahead and give it an install. Thanks!

If your motherboard is a server class, get the PCI-X version. It is MUCH better than the Express slot version. I have feedback from people here - the Express slot grip is too short - and it flaps in the wind created by a strong fan. The PCI-X slot is very long - and it definitely won't flap. However, you might have trouble looking for the PCI-X version as it is relatively old - and Canopus has stopped producing that version.

Indeed the PCIe NX that I have is mechanically not too great compared to the PCIx version, I works just fine on 64 bit.

The version I have is the PCI-X (not Express). I wanted to use it in my newer system but the company who put it together wouldn't install it as they said there were too many driver conflicts with the NX and Vista 64. My secondary system which had the NX installed is also Vista 64 and I never had any trouble with it. However... since this newer system is running so flawlessly (except for the burn disk quandary) I didn't want to install anything that could possibly cause any conflicts. I checked the forum but didn't find any mention of trouble (which is why I asked). I think I'll go ahead and give it a try. Again... thanks for your feedback.

Line up your computer company in front of a firing squad :-). They know nuts - that's for sure.

[psfx]

Actually... they are a well known and reputable company (and I think a member of the forum) who have always done great work. I completely trust them which is why I went along with it. Obviously they have experienced something different... but since I have had it working for quite some time already on a 64 bit version of Vista... I'll give it a try in the newer one (and oh do I love this newer system!) No foul... just thanks...

Great news then. Let us know if you have any issues with the PCI-X NX card then. I have NONE - it was just a great piece of hardware from Canopus.
