= Massive upgrade, can now reliably run massive pvp battles and dalaran as well as new tournament area - It's not perfect, but for the age and spec of the machine it runs amazing

some side notes :

- The display driver for Win7 for my old card crashes now and then, causing me to have to restart wow if it happens (about once every 3-5 hours play, so not bad).
- The power save on the disc needs to be turned off, or it causes a complete system lockup, not what is causing it, but turning power save on the SSD disc off fixed it (setting in Windows power management)
- Sound drivers seem to suck for me in Win7, all kinds of problems with Vent, but fixable

All in all, SSD+8 GB = an amazing bang for the buck!

Thanks for the advice all.
where did you pick up Win7? I've been trying to get the RC from the windows site for a couple days and it just gives me an error when i try to download it.

thx
