Blackgold single PCI cards one or two Sir?

Are they compatible with Vista, if so where are the drivers. as i'm looking to move over to vista soon should i buy a dual card and use the other two for recording duties or can i only have 1 pci and 1 PCIx.

my current setup under mce 2005 is 2 x blackgold pci and 2 x Kworld usb's whisch i'm sure the drivers are not compatible.

thanks

Jon

Stay away from BDI dual card. Thats my advice. Mine has been "offloaded" after I gave up on it. Problems with mobo and/or SLI setup.

Re: Blackgold single PCI cards one or two Sir?

I have since purchased a single card, which is as yet uninstalled into a Vista PC. I'll be doing that over the next two months. I see no reason as to why you could not use one or two of them, if you wish to record something else other that what you are watching. I am unsure as to whether you may encounter problems with waking up from sleep to record, as I think these problems may be specific to motherboard.

I never had any problems with single tuner Black Gold Cards in XP, but I realise (having been using Vista for 3 months), that it would be foolish to assume the same.

i'm sure there is some issues using 2 blackgolds together in a Vista, i will wait for more replies until the plunge.
