Did you stay up to the wee hours of the morning waiting to unlock Battlefield 3?  If not, now is a good time to remind you that you'll want to update your graphics drivers on your PC for the game.  Both AMD and NVIDIA have released optimized versions of their drivers for DICE's Frostbite 2 engine.  I put a solid 3 hours into the campaign last night on my PC armed with a GeForce GTX 580 on all Ultra settings and the latest drivers.  The game is drop dead gorgeous for sure and makes serious use of lighting effects with some really slick texture details.

While the Battlefield 3 beta won't contain any co-op, it is a good chance to get a feel for the game and check out the Battle Log online system.  The multiplayer beta for Battlefield 3 kicks off tomorrow on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC, and while the former two won't require any manual intervention to run other than downloading it, you might want to get your PC in shape today by updating your drivers.
