I've seen it - it looks..."ready". Unfortunately, we can't find any pre-order copy in Greece...I would love to buy the Pro edition...

To be honest I'm very satisfied from the RC's of windows 7. For sure one of the best OSes the last years! Yeah Pro edition seems very attractive

Already installed x86 on the bench rig. Going to swap it over to the bench station in a few minutes. Should have an opportunity to run some 2d benches tonight

Please try windows7+32M(spi v1.6) and then try winXP+32M(spi v1.5) and then compare these 2 results!

Will do.

Will have to reinstall though I used one partition on my raptor :p Already planned a small XP install and Vista on my other rig so I could bench (xp) it as well, but forgot about the bench rig lol
