    Had W7 64bit in my 8510P but revert back to vista business 64bit since the trial period will end up soon. I can say is that W7 for 8510P is superb. Runs cooler without undervolting and playing games are good althought i can't see visually the diff. using W7 and Vista business. All the drivers for W7 were from Vista and have no problem with it. I'm just sad that W7 even the upgrade pack is quite expensive for me. So still stick with vista business.

    I had Win 7 Pro x86 installed for almost a month and for some reason USB mouse and keyboard were not working properly plus my Creative Live 5.1 External (USB) had weird scratches in sound. A personally blame immature Intel chipset drivers. Here is video what it did:
    http://www.edisk.cz/stahni/04700/Zasekavani_kurzoru_mysi_na_youtube.3gp_6.52MB.html

    I was desperate dunno what to do with it - couldn't even write my thesis on it - it skipped letters.

    Btw. when mice was attached to USB->PS/2 converter it was much better but not 100%. My Logitech USB keyboard for some unknown reason doesn't work with that USB->PS/2 converter.

    So I'm back on Windows XP Pro x86 ENG - everything works fine (again).
