I posted about this a long time ago, where JF talks about it in the AMD blog (would have to dig through my early posts on here, thankfully there aren't many). While JF only can speak on matters pertaining to Server products, I think it's fair to assume at least some of what he said will still hold true for the Desktop versions as well. From what I recall it was not only OS coding that would help (I guess drivers in this case), but application coding as well, which will better utilize how the cache works in BD (sharing). He seemed to indicate that Windows 8 (which he did not outright say 'Windows', or '8') would support it, which I went on to wonder how possibly it would be to get a patch out for 7 for it to full support BD as it's intended. I figured if it was able to be done w/o an arse load of work that it may require quite a hefty patch size, so I'm hoping the drivers mentioned are able to do most/all of what is needed
