well, had to cold boot in the middle of install. 2nd time around all went well, though i don't have the nv control panel that was mentioned to be included. i tried several installs to see if i had goofed something, to no avail (i'm running the x64 vista atm).

for me, it's not worth running 32bit just for the nvidia control panel, as the new drivers are still not developed
enough to play with

Nvidia have new beta drivers out for RC1.

from what i heard, 5600 has a slight speed increase over 5536, and it seems the filesize is a bit smaller..

Played with it all afternoon, everything seems to be running really well this time. There def. is a large speed increase on my test mach.

I am getting it now, a bit late

----------------------------------------

EDIT: Installed and working smoothly. Experience Index is now a bit better than on previous Beta2 refreshes. I liked the performance increase of this build over 5472. I couldnt test 5536.
