OT - my new i7 pc & win7
I've just finished building my new PC with a core i7 920, 6Gb RAM, a GTX285 and Win7 RC x64 for starters
I've logged on to this site and got winamp and my music setup - so the important bits all work
so now I'm looking to put it through its paces...
I've got a couple of directX 10 games but not much else, any suggestions ? (free stuff is best  )

Try 3dmark vantage, that's the vista/DX10 version.

change your memory timeings to 8.8.8.24 clocks and your cpu volts up to 1.25 and qpi/dram up to 1.30 dram bus up to 1.50 bclk up to 180 should be up
to approx 4.0 gig on air as i run a i7 920 on a rampage2 extreme with 6 gig of ram and a gtx260 black 4g is easy good luck paul

I'll keep playing with it but its already a huge step up from my old pc (the first version of the nforce 4 SLI chipset  )

it gets worse, I had a P4 630 (later swaped for a s/h 840 PentiumD EE, the best the MB could handle ) and a couple of Gb of cheap generic 533
ddr2's
the graphics were quite good at the time though - one 256Mb 6800 ultra (later 2 in an SLI)
I can't complian too much though, the old machine did 3 years of service before I noticed it was getting a bit slow for the new software - then
struggled on for another year regardless and is still going now....
