Well summit ain't right lol. Been installing Vista x64 the past hour (yes hour). First off, after I booted from Vista disk it just froze at loading windows screen and DVD drive stopped spinning, it just sat there. A quick CTL/ALT/DEL and the drive started spinning again and it proceeded to copy files. After that was done, it hung again at 'expanding files', CTL/ALT/DEL done nothing this time, and it just sat there for over half an hour doing nothing. Was getting ready to reboot, when it sprung into action again and continued.

*Edit*

That's it installed now, I'm at user screen, lets see how it goes from here...... :rofl_mini:

I'm actually pleasantly surprised so far, it's nippy and flying along, course, that may be the hardware :rofl_mini:

It's installing updates now, course, this will all be a waste of time if activation don't work LOL!

Now to get rid of AERO, UAC, Bit Defender and numerous other bloat I can find

Considering past preferences, I'm surprised you aren't using Server 2008 with some hacks. :rofl_mini:

I knew!

I just knew you would break down and bow before me, resistance is futile, I am Scara of Borg! :giggle:

Anyway, board is OK, but I'd go for the P6T instead buddy

(FREE SHIPPING TOO) its much more stable and clocks rather well, but if you really want to clock, get the REII lol! RAM is fine, and a damn good price for it too, although I'd go for 6Gb if your gaming and want the best Win7 experience, 'Acrobat Reader' has problems with 8Gb or more though, so don't go over the mark.
