After reading some of the reviews I was somewhat prepared to bring this back to the store in case it did not work on my system. There was no need. It works better than I expected on my Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit system. I am using Media Center instead of the software that came with it, but the software worked well on a different computer. Although I have never been a fan of Windows Media Center, I really like the support it provides for the card. Most importantly, the picture looks great on my 1680x1080 monitor, especially HD channels. My computer is a Core Duo 2.66 GHz with 3GB RAM, my video card is a standard Dell 256MB integrated, and there is no chop or delay at all.
