[QUOTE="Jones, post: 543203, member: 4805"] Heh, I'm almost scared to ask why you need 8gb of RAM, I'm still on old 32 bit XP pro so I'm maxed out at 4, which is still enough to turn off virtual memory and get rid of that annoying page file. I was dual booting the Win7 RC for a while, it's completely stable and fully functional, the only thing I couldn't get drivers for was an old diamond extreme sound card. If you're using onboard audio from realtek you'll be fine. I never made the move to Vista, and with Win7 right around the corner I don't see a reason to now. You should check out the RC, it's free and good through next June when it will start shutting down, all you need is a DVD burner for the ISO. SSD's are tempting, but still a little bit pricey for me. I was reading over on Newegg in the customer reviews where some guy claims he's running five of them in a RAID config and ripping DVD's in 15 seconds. Not sure I believe that.... [/QUOTE]
