I have been wanting to get a new computer for some time now and since Windows 7 have come out with their beta, I figured now would be a great time.

(my comp currently is a 2.0 because of the HDD but I am going to guess a 5.0)Any other advice is much appreciated. Thanks for everyone's time and I hope to hear from as many people as possible.

Pop the 64 bit windows 7 beta disc in and go for it!

Thanks for the info. I will scan over it tomorrow. Computer will be delivered on friday. I can't wait to see how Win 7 will run and how long it will take me to break the OS again :P

If you plan to use Windows 7 as your primary OS, remember it is a Beta and it will expire. Keep your files backed up.

Nice System.((envy))

Thanks hudsonart. I will xDirect. Going to use it as a prime for the time being. The computer is coming with Windows Vista Basic x64 so I told them not to install it. I'll install that when the beta runs out ; )

Well today was the day. Fresh computer out of the box and man am I enjoying it. I even managed to set up my network right the first time. The only problem that I have had so far is with a program called Synergy. It breaks my heart that I can use it anymore. Basically the program allows me to use my mouse and keyboard, that I use on my desktop, on my laptop by just moving the pointer over to the other screen. I'm going to post about this problem later but I have a feeling that it has to do with 1 system being a x64 and the other being a x32. Here is the link if you want to know more: http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/ If anyone knows of another program that does the same things and might work, please share the wealth.So far, I really recommend anyone that can afford it to get a x64 system. The install time on win 7 was much much faster than the 32bit counterpart.I will post more as I play around.and for those that are wondering:Processor: 7.2Memory (RAM) 7.2Graphics: 7.9 (WOOHOO!)Gaming graphics 6.0Primary hard disk 6.0Overall 6.0 (Man I am loving this computer)
