I had everything working under Windows XP except for the volume control and multimedia controls. I could never locate XP drivers for those. I would highly recommend Windows 7 as it will have better driver support and be about as fast as XP is. If you don't mind losing the volume control on the side, XP will be okay. I really like the laptop. It's never once felt slow and it games great. The 512M of RAM per video card hurts it the most. More video RAM is crucial or SLI just isn't worth it. I'll be upgrading video cards soon so I can get more video RAM and the faster GPU. CrossFireX didn't work because the cable shipped loose. I opened it up and corrected the cable and got that working fine. RAID0 is great. Really good loading times for a laptop. I am currently using Vista 32 bit.
