Agreed. I currently only have Macs around here and prefer the OS by a wide margin. But, I wanted to learn a bit more about computers and thought that building my own would be a good way to do that. The other thing is that Macs are nearly impossible up upgrade over time and cannot game in any serious manner. So, I'll try a winbox for the first time in a long time.

It's because of this that I'm thinking that I will be ok with the 64 bit version - don't have any software to move over and I'm buying every component new. Also, I figure that there will be a slow gravitation towards the 64 and really don't want to be stuck with the 32 bit if that is the case.

Speaking of driver problems, I might try a dual boot with linux onboard. We'll see.

I'm thinking the Asus 8800GT is what I will end up going with.

Thanks guys.
