    (sorry can't post urls yet)

    real excited. got it for 1600 on ebay. pretty good considering how **** the canadian dollar is right now...

    other sli owners, any advice on what i should do first? i heard the 64 bit ultimate is very worth the $30 or so media upgrade.

    whatever you do, do a clean install to get rid of the bloatware. I personally like 32bit XP. I don't see any reason to go to 64bit personally, but if your software is compatible, go for it.

    I stuck with the 32 bit Ultimate that my SLi4 came with and it is fine. The first things you should do are probably get rid of bloatware and install the 180.xx nVidia drivers from laptopvideo2go.com
