Now, that doesn't sound too reassuring...in a 24Hz multiple and all? TBH, mVR is so dead smooth on XPSP3 for me that I'm in really no hurry to reinvent the wheel. Besides, I can't seem to be able to find a W7-compatible software firewall that would match my requirements, duh.
The only real improvement for me could be the support of HPET, that in combination w/
Fidelizer would allow me to lower the OS timer granularity much lower than on XP. This would make everyone happy: Reclock, mVR and my audio apps...XP is really not meant for realtime use, even when using the ACPI timer.

Yeah, I've seen a second hand i7 920 for pretty cheap, but it's using a now obsolete 1366 socket...so if I get it, I won't be able to upgrade to a 2700K later on
Intel will be switching sockets within a few months again:

Being a computer geek is a risky business, and zillions of them will be selling their 2700K for dead cheap shortly...I can wait
