Thanks for the quick respons guys, I'm already backing stuff up and collecting new drivers.

(once I get something in my head...

)

One thing though; I have the 32-bit version

. I downloaded it with the intention to run it on an older box only, but it's actually good enough to be a valid alternative for my "big iron".

No, I run 2GB. Been plenty with XP, so I guess there's no real reason for 64-bit anyway. I send an E-mail to MS asking abut the possibility to receive a 64-bit edition for evaluation, but I have this feeling it will be denied.

DX11 - yeah, noticed it had 11 this morning, when I ran DXDiag. Was a big surprise really, since there are rumours already that it won't be a part of the release.

Clonedrives aren't really a part of my day to day stuff. Used to use images extensively, but the DRM of late won't allow you to play from image. :shrug:

I should check if I can boot from the disk. I don't remember making the disk bootable, just installed from XP on the other PC...
*edit: Yep, works like a charm. Will I need preinstall drivers, and will I get the option to format C: drive during install?
