Hey all,
I've been staying away from Windows 7 for a while due to a couple concerns. I think they're starting to get that fixed, but want to get a few things cleared up first before hand.
1) Is it ready for gaming? I've heard that Steam has some issues with the 64bit version of it, and that concerns me. How are ATI's 64 bit drivers?
2) I know that you can do an upgrade from Vista without doing a clean wipe. But will I be able to do the same from the RC to the retail build? Having to do a clean wipe would be pretty much a deal breaker for me.
Here's my build, if its relevant
ASUS P6T 1366 X58
Core i7 920
ATI Radeon HD 4870 1GB
OCZ 1333 RAM - 12 GB (I know, I know)
LG Blu-Ray HD-DVD combo drive
