    Just got my p-6860fx and so far i'm loving it, but i have a few questions for those who already own one.

    What are the best drivers for the 8800m gts?

    Can someone give me a quick guide to making a system restore disk so i can reinstall vista when i install my raid 0?

    What programs do you use to monitor temps?

    I'm looking for a way to transfer programs from my old computer to my new gateway but i've lost some of the discs. Any suggestions?
    Anyone ever try pcmover?

    Is it possible to dual boot vista 64 and xp pro with raid 0?

    Also once i have everything set up correctly i'm looking to back it all up so i dont lose anything. Would making a hard drive image work? Could i back up my hard drive onto seperate dvd's? How easy is it to restore from an image? Whats the best program for disc imaging?

    Thanks to eveyone in advance! Reading this forum is one of the reasons i decided to get a gateway p-6860fx :)

    just wondering, where did you get your 6860? I can't seem to find it anywhere except for ebay.
