So, now that I'm up and going, I obviously have several other questions...
1) with Windows 7, should I be using some sort of default 'theme' to help increase my khash/se? If so, then what?
2) Getting extra graphics cards for my PC... so how many can I buy for it? Then, when I buy them, I assume that I just create a new .bat file for each GPU card, and then execute them?
3) What about power savings mode on my PC? Should that be disabled or switched to something else?

Thanks for all your help.
