We should also note that it is surprising to see so many reviewers posting so variable results. Both Nvidia and AMD haven't optimized their drivers yet.

+1 For truth, when they update the drivers that's when its time to take stock :D

I'll wait for Windows 8 128bit

SoW will be nicely settled in by then and a more civilized bunch of hardware will be out to run it properly :mrgreen:

Do you remember how long it has taken us to switch to x64? :mrgreen: Not to mention the hardware part. There is a saying, if you want to wait - you can wait forever as there will always be better hardware to buy next year. :D

Im not wasting my money on this 64bit stuff, I sell enough of it to know better, that's why I'm waiting for 128bit to throw my money at it, :)

There's always a bleeding critic! ;)

Do you know how much angst I've suffered just putting this baby together?

And there always will be. I just wrote what I read on the net, based on the various reviews.

Take it or leave it, your choice. :)

Both the Crucial and the Corsair come out very well. I was interested in the read speed and gaming performance. Looks like I'll be ok (my new mobo has a 6Gb/s controller).

Already read it mate. That article is almost 8 months old. ;)
