We didnt say you'd get a higher benchmark score, but you'll get access to all 4 gigs of your memory and dx10 functionality in games that support it.

Trust me, gaining the above mentioned abilities vastly outweighs getting a few hundred less points in 3dmark.

Actually, i'd been using Windows 7 x64 (build 7100) for the last few months and i've been very pleased with the performance. I've only just switched to the Entrprise edition as i just installed that mainboard and i have xp as a dual boot until i sort out an activation error.

Hmm... interesting.

you can use the win7 install without activation or even without a cdkey...they catch is it only works for 120 days before you have to reinstall, and you have to rearm every 30 dyas.

get a vm software like virtualbox (easiest to use if you never used VMs). This is much safer to test activators on since you can install the OS, take a snapshot (like an image) of the system test an activator and if it works, awesome! If not revert to the snapshot and try again, will make sure that an activator doesn't fail based on the previous work of another one
