Well if that is the case, I have yet to have an issue with it on these machines.

I doubt I will do the upgrade unless there is some major advantage I hear of later. I replace machines every 12-18 months as it is. So everything will be upgraded in my office in a short period of time as is.

These new computers are used to just render videos anyway. So unless it is going to change that in some significant way, which I doubt, then it's not worth the grief.
