As Zardon has sad in another thread, and I agree with him, if you can have dual boot with xp then you might get it and lear how it works.

I am running Enterprise version and it works fine for me. The 100.54 drivers solved the gameplay issues I was having (and the only reason I didn't switch over already). I would say that unless you have $$$ laying around and no other upgrades to buy, go for it. Otherwise, you'd honestly be better off buying a better GPU or adding RAM for now.

I, on the other hand, will be attempting a full 100% switch tonight if I can find out for sure if all me media software works ok (Nero, DVD Shrink, etc).

EDIT: oh wow my spelling was so off this morning....
