    I did exactly that, except I grabbed the sudo package aswell.

    I do not like how if I want to switch from my XOrg session to a TTY, it freezes and I have to restart my entire system. Do you know if that is because I did not install the nVIDIA drivers?
    compile the magic sys request keys into your kernel and you wont risk losing anything

    Sync +Unmount +Reboot

    It took me like, an hour to configure everything.
    I still had problems though, like AHCI, IDE, ICH9R, all that.

    I did all of the tests on fresh installs with my backup disk far away out of the system.

    Off-topic:
    NewEgg does not sell the high end Gigabyte GA-P35-DQ6 anymore?
    I was going to search their specifications to find out what controller I used (turned out to be ICH9R), but it isn't on the site anymore.

    The "high-end" discontinued board that won't let me do 4.0GHz with a Q6700.

    meh, not so sure about that..

    I'm on vista64 again right now and can't really say that it feels slower..don't notice any difference in games etc..

    The only thing i do notice is that vista boots faster than server08

    This is going to sound stupid, but can you use Vista 32 bit drivers with Server 08 even though its a 64bit OS? My laptop manufacture doesn't make 64bit vista drivers. I doubt you can, but I figured I would ask.

    Thanks!

    Windows Server 08 is not only a 64 bit version, it has a 32 bit version too. You can use Vista 32 drivers for Windows Server 08 32 bit or you can use Vista 64 drivers for Windows Server 08 64 bit. It is up to you to choose the best OS for your daily usage..

    the 64bit is faster, the only reason to go 32bit is if your processor doesn't support 64bit...
    Fast computers breed slow, lazy programmers
    The price of reliability is the pursuit of the utmost simplicity. It is a price which the very rich find most hard to pay.

    Exactly. And as you can see in bakalu's post, the result differences are smaller than 1%. Hardly worth it.
