Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
NCX isn't just blowing smoke, he does extensive testing on monitors, he is the reason I picked up a HP 2509b years ago. Don't take it personal if he says that new Dells are crap, he is just stating the facts as of right now.
FYI Best Buy has the HP 2509b for $199, I picked this up last week after reading the review from NCX. It really is a great monitor, I can now play Thief 1 & 2 or any stealth game that has very dark areas again (Metro 2033) and enjoy it.
I have a IP35-E and windows 7 beta, RC and Retail have always found and installed everything just fine no downloads needed. But yes you should be able to use vista 64 but drivers for Win7.
