Excited to see how my system does. Even though it hits the recommended dead on, I'm sure it'll just crawl, damn you Futuremark!
As far as DX10/Vista only, cry me a river. I may or may not lose 5% performance versus XP, but when I'm in the middle of destroying people in CoD4 or UT3, I can asure you that I'm not counting 60fps vs. 63fps. Hell, anyone who plays with FPS displays on are just asking for headaches, just enjoy the game.
