    After using W7 (which I like btw) for several month, I recently had to reinstall Vista. Why??? Because the temperature on my 8600GT DDR3 became a bit to high, around 100C when playing games.
    After I reinstalled Vista the temp dropped to around 80C on max load.
    Someone else who has experienced similar problems?????????
