And built a new puter on Friday night. Intel I-7, dual nVidia 9800
graphics cards (the Asus board will support 3). Win-doze Seven/64 bit -
Ultimate. Works great so far (not a single crash in just over four days
- a record - touch wood).

My next laptop will be an i7 with 8GB Ram. I am current using Win 7
Ultimate x64 on my dual core laptop with 4GB Ram...not too bad at all.
It's been about 4 months, and I get an occasional mouse freeze. Other
than that, its works great.

Sweet...

Why the 2 video cards? HTPC, gaming?

How many Gigafranks of RAM?

Only four, but the P6T can support a heck of a lot more.

Slow down hotrod.. It's okay! I'm about to build one too, and SLI is
and important factor for picking a MOBO.

Mine is going to be used for HTPC, with a minimum of 4 tuners.

DDR3?? Mine will have 8GB of DDR3 to start with, and Win7 Ultimate
64.

I've got my lappy running Win7 Ultimate 64 with 4GB DDR2 now (Intel
dual core P8600). Runs great.

My old single core desktop (P4 2.8GHz) Win 7 Pro 32 with 2GB DDR is a
HTPC. It doesn't do HD Flash well (Hulu), but it does handle HD1080p
OTA and Netflix streaming nicely (M$ Silverlight powered). Right now
I switch between Windows Media Center, and Boxee. I like the Boxee
interface better but it does not support live TV yet, and still needs
work (I get the newest Beta's every 2-3 weeks). I've tried XBMC but
it's not polished enough for me, and tried SageTv but my setup seems
to underpowered for it (takes forever to change channels). Beyond TV
looks nice, but I'm not sure I want to pay for it because it lacks
certain features.

I'm going to demote the P4 to a media/file/print server, and use it
for the steaming device. I'll also leave it on for remote desktop
connections so I can record TV remotely if I forget, and to snag files
I need that are not on the lappy if I'm out in the field.

Now, really.... Why the 2 video cards for you?
