Got it yesterday, tried to setup a 4870 with a 8800 and got multiple BSODs(kinda)
So much for being able to use the 8800 for PhysX lol

Sorry to hear that m8y ...... I just threw the x64 version on my Lappy and it went on well .... found every driver and did exactly as it said on the tin.

Downlaoded the x64 version last night, hoping to install it alongside my current vista system on a dual boot later

Anyone put this on an EeePC?

I might stick it on something later, or even on my main computer, I have backups so can easily go back to XP, might as well get with the times, this RC copy is meant to be pretty good.

Installed with no problems. AVG also installed this time (didn't on the beta version). All in all looks good.

Downloaded x64 on the 5th, havn't installed yet though, as I'm waiting for Vista first (new build, need a new DVD drive for vista to work) so that I won't have any complications with the bootmanager.

Can't wait to try it out though

I'm going to be putting it on my main PC tonight.

Decided I may as well go the whole hog, not found any bugs with the RC yet so figured why not.

Sods Law = You put it on and the world is alerted of a massive bug with it, via technet. You power up, whilst praying to every single god, from every religion, even minority, really obscure ones, hoping you are immune.

Nope.

But all the best!

It was tempting, but one thing that stopped me was that it does not recognise my co-processor, tried updating drivers but to no avail. Apart from that all looks good.
