I agree, If I just had one small hope of CM7K being on my system without messing
something up, or maybe working without any bugs making it totally crap to play,
then I would have stuck with it. But as it is, I cannot get that small miracle
to happen.

CM6K seems to be a safer bet. CM7K was a radical change in design, with a lack
of testing to make it safe. Even the patch cause a large amount of people
problems.
