I did a fresh install of Win 7 RC (had Win 7 Beta prior to upgrade). Installed latest drivers, etc..all the right stuff...only got maybe a 3-5% boost in graphics performance and benchmarks were a slight budge as well, but not too much. I figured I have a bottleneck somewhere and my PCIE slots being 1.1 instead of 2.0 makes sense. With my C2D E6600 OC'ed to over 3.2GHz stable, that should be bogging down my graphics too much. I'll buy a good quality motherboard upgrade after I get back from a short trip. I'm leaving in about a week and shipping to APO typically takes 1-2 weeks, so no point in ordering prior to trip. I'll probably order in the middle of the trip so that it's here when I get back

Thanks for the help, all.
