When you have 8GB everything changes, stuff loads like lightning, Vista uses all that spare memory to store frequently-used programs too. Virtual memory (pagefile, hard drive) will never be used again

DirectX11 has support for tesselation, which automatically creates higher-resolution meshes on 3D objects so planes will look better. ATI had tesselation in hardware for years but no games used it. DX11 should encourage developers to use that feature

What about the stoopid icons, are they gone now?
Ordered mine today from Amazon, going to get more ram now so I have lots ready
Starting to copy things to a second H/D and download progs I will need (Win 7 ships with no browser etc so got to get them before install)
Pre-order that is Chris. Yes it is. Is.
Checking the card that they’re not charging it before Oct 22nd
Biting the bullet on Barbie buttons Ed, this OS should suit quad-core ops and i7 boards nicely. Vista: Gamers Edition
