You have a GTX 260 but with no DirectX 10 support? Have you tried running a trial of Vista to see how it copes with XP at all with the new card?

How you do you like your Hauppauge card.

it's pretty good. on xp, it runs fine, but it's a bit buggy on vista (as you could imagine). i don't have any of their software installed though, and am using sagetv to capture from both sources. i haven't gotten it to work on linux yet though... :'(

this was the cap card i got: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16815116009
