Hi matey..

Thanks for updating..

I have just installed this platform update. I was a bit nervous about having to install SP2 first though as when i tried this when SP2 was first released it gave no end of problems like the BSOD.
I am curious to see what differences it will make in the upcoming DX11 games.

Hi Phil,
don't forget though buddy that you'll need a DX11 capable card... Are you considering investing in one soon?

Not sure on that one yet Kemical. Do Nvidia make one yet??

Earliest dates suggest Q1 2010 although ATI has had their version out for the last few weeks..
