    Microsoft Reveals Main Windows 8 Editions

    No reason why they should work. Windows 8 is basically what Windows 7 was to Vista, an extension/upgrade rather than total remake of the OS. Drivers for certain things will need updates but not all, and applications will only need an update if they want to use the Metro UI.

    Windows 8 Consumer Preview

    If I install this, I like it and keep it, when the RC or final release of Windows 8 comes out, will I be able to upgrade my "beta" into the final release or will it require a reinstall?

    Does this mean its going to perform less than Sony make it out to? :laugh: EDIT: Completely read that as CPU and not GPU. Forgive me, AMD make half decent GPU's.

    Which monitor should I buy?

    The Asus monitor has the largest dynamic contrast ratio, although I think all 3 have the same static ratio (Which I hear is the important number). If I get it from Amazon, I can get it on next day delivery.
