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

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

Do you remember how long it has taken us to switch to x64? 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.

I was running x64 years ago under Win xp most stable system ever for me.

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,

Looks like I'm switching to two 6950 on CrossFire. Look at those puppies "scale"!

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).
