,----[ Quote ]

| requires a longer wait to just simply operate my computer.
|
| 2. I like the idea of DirectX10 and it?s unified shader technology.
| I don't like having to upgrade or taking a performance hit just to use it.
|
| 3. It costs how much? $399 for the Ultimate Edition?
|
| 4. Right now, the 64-bit driver support is meh.
