depending upon which 570 you have it'll either be super fast or super duper fast..
(these are technical terms used to describe incremental speed improvements)
there should be a file that will run under your web browser with descriptions of
the apps..
shove the selected software CD in the CD and run the startup.. it should load your
browser and start the description applet..
whether you run a beta or not depends upon how inportant it is not to have
crashes..
or
don't use a beta on a mission critical machine..
either that or get a spare HDD and play with it, then run the serious stuff with
the regular HDD..
