You would rank right around 4.8 to 5.0 depending on what kind of RAM that be. I have a 4.2 because of my HDD.

Hells ya! I tried RC1, but the driver support simply wasnt there yet. However, I LOVE Areo! The whole OS has a nice feel to it.

I don't find vista worth it at the moment. Maybe when I pick up a DX10 card, I'll do a buy of vista ultimate or something.

I have Ultimate now.. no drivers for it though (like others have said)

So, YES.. but probably a month or so after release, just so the drivers get worked out..
