8GB and Scope

Hi guys I 've searched the forums but can't seem to find conclusive evidence:
Is it able to get any stable configuration that can use 8GBs of RAM?
Obviously we'll need Windows 7 and the 64-bit drivers (are these available yet? (Ithink I saw them in the latest update right!))
My setup absolutely flies at the moment but the weakest link is the RAM limit.
Thanks

64 bit drivers will be in the next month or so (apparently).

by next to nothing
For stable configurations, be aware that some older motherboards have issues with 4 sticks of RAM plugged in, but in most cases this is fixable by flashing the BIOS. If a new BIOS doesn't help, one might need to clock down the RAM or boost the voltage. My P5N-E SLI (nForce 650i chipset) needed a BIOS update to work, before the update the machine wouldn't even install W7 without crashing.
Now i'm a happy camper though, 8 gigs stable, win 7 64 bit allthough no Sharc DSPs at the moment

Scope will work fine. it's Windows that won't work, unless you are usng 64bit, in which case Scope won't work because the 64bit version isn't out yet.
