Hey -
So after a failed attempt at a Wireless-N card installation, it seems that I may be pushed into doing something that I've been planning on doing for a while now, which is make a single installation of Windows that unifies my gaming and "work" worlds. I figure I've got enough RAM to afford it at this point.
I'm trying to outline the application software I have licenses for and iron out the installation order. Let me know what you think:
