    My 1730 arrives this week, and the first thing I will do is blow it away and install Vista ultimate. The only question is 32 or 64? I will have 4gig which is a + for 64.

    Any thoughts?

    Thanks

    have they gotten the 8800gtx card yet? :D

    I would consider the house size laptop ;)

    if you have the 32-bit your max memory is 3.5 or 3.6

    with the 64-bit you will have the 4GB of memory, but you already know that lol

    No 8800 yet. I'll upgrade to that in a year or so.

    My current computers have 3dmark06 scores of about 600, so I think the 8700 will be a good enough start.
