Here's my specs... should run ok...right?

Win7 64 BIT

AMD Phenon 2 quad core @ 3.61 GHZ

8 GB of really fast ram :) - OCZ REAPER

nVidia GeForce 8800 GT <---Should I upgrade? - I was thinking ATI Radeon? HD 3870 X2 Graphics Cards

10K WD VelociRaptor - 300 GB

Don't bother upgrading for something like Doom III. Your computer should run 10 instances of Doom 3 without stuttering. Google is your friend for now until some smart one supplies an answer:):)

Of the many things I love about Win7 one thing I?ll say is? It?s freaking fast! When compared to Vista. I don?t care if benchmark says only 5% faster? that cannot be right?

It?s definitely snappier, loads faster, and shuts down faster. File transfers don?t even get me started; there was something wrong with Vista in that dept. What amazed me is how much faster Office 2007 got!!!! Gotta be a 100% speed increase that?s for sure.

The only thing still kinda slow is Photoshop (takes so long to start, but thats typical of Adobe i guess) Also, for some strange reason, defrag take 1 minute to open?

I love how my desktop is 100% usable right after login. Vista you had to wait 30 sec or so.

Search is crazy, I can go on?

There is no way that benchmark tested real life usage? I am wrong?

How is gaming performance, does WDM (?) 1.1 help? I have the latest drivers and DOOM 3 stutters, where it did not in Vista?

Vista SP2 feels same way.

Should i blame WDDM thing on FireFox 3.5 lagging like hell on certain websites? :/

Anyone using it here?

firefox 3.5 beta 4 is fine here, not lagging at all.

So I take it that OPENGL is the culprit? Does Win7 not support OPENGL properly? - I guess not if other people are not experiencing the same problem.

I have the latest drivers for everything.

OpenGL support is up to the drivers.
