    Is there any value in using/upgrading to Win7 Ultimate edition on the m11x?

    here is a list of all the Win7 features for all editions, compared side-by-side. Home premium is really all you need but if you desire addtional features check here to see if there is anything compelling with each edition that you might need.

    BitLocker looks nice, but I'm worried about the impact it would have on games. Has anyone seen any tests on how encryption affects frame rates?

    Once the game's files are loaded, frame rates should not be affected.
