@dusckr87,
As I have yet to have a MAF and I still have not used Viewports I personally would not want them on by "default".
By the way for reference my comp is over 3yrs old, has Dual Core IBM chipset E7400 with 8GB DDR2 1066Mhz ram and an MSI R6450 vid card with 2GB DDR3 ram. Using Win XP Pro x64 OS. I had to update the Vid card back at C2C v17. I do not have to use the /3GB Switch either. (I built it myself for under $700 with OS but not monitor in March of '09).
