    Nice rig, Congrats. :)

    64-bit is fine... especially if you are not trying to SLI.

    Nice rig!! We have almost the same specs although I got the NP9261 in SLI 7950 . I don't think that you'll have a problem at all with vista. Can't wait to hear your review of it ;)

    Why wait for a video card when you can just swap it out later..

    By a cheaper 8700 fro now and then buy a 8800..

    Seems crazy to wait for a card that won't likely be out until 2008..

    Do you really think its going to be that easy to get when it comes out???

    Think about it.... Most people wait 1 to 3 weeks for a laptop...

    Add a part that hasn't even come out yet... Your going to be waiting a long time... Ill enjoy my 8700's now and Ill buy the 8800's later when i am bored and need an upgrade...

    I have been using 64bit vista for a few months now and not had any issues with it. It has been really stable for me.
