Looks like a good excuse to upgrade my gaming rig....mine will work w/ no problems but its still a good excuse. I'm not so sure about Win8 though. We bought an ASUS touchscreen laptop that came with Win8...I don't use it b/c we mainly bought it for my wife but I tell you...we have the hardest time finding things in there. It's like...if it isn't on the home screen, it isn't there. Maybe I just need to play with it some but I'm still a big fan of Win7...been using it for years and it's never given me a single problem...stable as a rock.
