Making the jump to CISSP....a few questions

I have about 5.5 years of network administration(Windows 2003/AD/GP, etc), with half of that time as a network engineer with management of cisco switches, pix firewalls, and vpn concentrators. My education background is an MIS(Management Information Systems)Bachelors, with Information Assurance core, instead of an System Analyst Core, or a Supply Chain Core. Basically this means my 4 level classes are/were geared towards an "Information Assurance" focus.





Recently passed the Security+ on my first shot with an 830.
Any pointers on a study process for someone just starting out?

How long to study for?

What are recommended materials?

Any particular books, particular websites? Forums? Videos-> IE: CBT Nugz, etc......


The only material I used to pass the Security+ 2008 was ExamCram 2 for SY0-201, various chapters from the latest Sybex SY0-201 book, I used this website, and watched a few clips from the CBT Nugz SY0-201 series.
Next up: OSCP
