    I haven't yet tried but, I do have 2 7950GTX, 2 Hdd's and 4gig of memory installed under Vista 32bit now. I'm thinking about XP 64bit, more for gaming?and going Raid 0! Anyone knows if this will be better overall?

    You will void your entire warranty by changing the OS, fyi.

    I think he is believing that with a OS 64 bits he will be able to use all the 4 GB of ram on the m9750...

    Well, if you still don't know, even with a 64 bits OS you won't have more that 2,5 GB ram, since the m9750 platform is unable to address more that 3,2 GB without Sli, and only 2,5 with Sli gpus.
