Though please keep a lookout for old hardware, as windows 8 consumer preview is giving problems to people trying to install it on older hardware, so be sure your hardware is in the compatibility list.

As a rule of thumb, windows 8 currently doesnt support computers with 400Mhz FSB and less, but supports all computer with 533Mhz FSB and higher.
