Odd thing happened with the Quicklaunch toolbar appearing after reboot and three other toolbars got turned off. Hope it was just a Vista-glitch.

They seem a really good set, probably the best NV set yet for vista.

Is anyone using a 7 series card with these? I have Vista, but am waiting to install it. I won't be buying a new card for a bit, but was wondering if gaming performance has improved with this set on Vista. Thanks guys.
