    You bought ultimate though, which means that you choose 32 or 64 bit during installation :thumb:

    I have Vista Ultimate (non OEM) got it free from work :). Got my GPU block, connected it, filled res with water started the pump...pssssss water poruing out of the rear radiator :waah:

    Starting to think this PC is not supposed to ever work :confused: I have been running 64bit on a Dell Optiplex 745 temporarily, with no problems though.

    I should have said USB items come to think of it, my MP3 player doesn't have any drivers, neither does my phone, two items I really need it for.

    I am also tempted to wait until I have a bit more cash and get the retail instead of OEM so I have option of both versions and multiple installs if my hardware goes nuts

    All the kit from the first order bar the case has turned up today (case should be here tomorrow, nice!!).

    First impressions from looking at stuff in the boxes:

    Daaaamn the Flex XLC is heavy :D AND OMG the 8800 is freaking huge! I couldn't visualise the dimensions, lol held my 9800 next to it and burst out laughing!

    Although, without a doubt, the coolest things that i got are the bfg stickers, my personal fave is : omgwtfbfgsauce.....who would put that on anythign?!?!?!
