Win7 64bit - drivers?

SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 5770 (Juniper XT) 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card 100283L
SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 5770 (Juniper XT) 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card 100283L

Pros: Great price point Shorter card so it doesn't eat up the whole mobo Only needs 1 6pin power connector HDMI out with 7.1 audio

Cons: Drivers - the 5000 series is too far ahead of its time

Overall Review: I am gald I didnt' pay for extra shipping, the Win7 64 bit drivers came out the day before this card arrived. DO NOT USE THE CD. Inslall the card, download ATI CCCenter 9.11 or greater, reboot. If you don't do this you will black hole yourself out of the pc... I won't get those 3 hours back.

Best Monitor for the price point

ASUS VW246H Glossy Black 24" HDMI Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 ASCR 20000:1 (1000:1) Built-in Speakers

Pros: For this price point you wont find a better monitor. I've had the 23" asus and now the 24" I will keep using them.

Cons: Under each I have a box.. it sits only 6 inches off the desk.
