ClassicShell is a free program to bring back the start menu on Win 8 --- it's a must have for Win 8, imo. Once you have classicshell, there's only a few small things that I'm not sure if you can change --- like when you put in an SD Card and windows asks "would you like to import the pictures...

Some benchmarks comparing gaming on Win 7 and Win 8 at 2:40 in this video. Win 8 uses less RAM, and is also faster than Win 7 at some tasks when it utilizes hardware acceleration: http://www.hardocp.com/news/2012/07/24/hardware_accelerating_everything_windows_8_graphics

Yep, I looked and can't find it either. The "support" tab is normally where the drivers are, but when you click on it for the a88xm-a ( http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/A88XMA/#support ), it's blank. Looked at a couple other motherboards and those show the drivers just fine. Another weird...

Same with me. It feels really awkward to have the fingers forced straight out forward when fingers have a natural curve. The only thing I don't like about the G500 is the thumb area --- Maybe it's just me, but I feel that the left side should stick out more (I've never tried the R.A.T. mice...

I'd review the terms and conditions of the warranty --- see if they want you to pay shipping and if it's possible to do advanced RMA so you can have a computer while it's being replaced. If you don't trust ASRock anymore after this, test the replacement board they send and as long as it works...

Sometimes when I unplug headphones while music is playing, it doesn't switch over to my speakers over optical. If you right-click the realtek speaker icon and select Sound Manager, the device selector is a carousel of icons at the top. Does it look like music is supposed to be playing when...

@cortexodus I know, but I'm seeing some deals on RAM here and there on newegg --- prices only ~$15 more expensive than what you paid. Ok, thank you. I may take another crack at it. I am pretty much ready to buy new RAM anyway though, since I will probably be moving this current 4GB stick...

It might vary from sensor to sensor, but here's my experience with the G500: I bought the 4HD, and it does track really good with the G500, but as for G400, not really sure. I think it uses a different avago sensor, which probably means it performs similar to the G500 (except I read that it...

At the moment, I have a Phenom II x6 1055T in an ASUS Sabertooth 990fx motherboard. I bought a Noctua NH-D14 CPU cooler specifically so I can safely overclock my CPU. I've learned that this cooler gets in the way of RAM, so Low Profile RAM is all that will fit. Currently, I have this RAM in...

Yea, in addition to the first Amazon review I mentioned, just noticed there's a second review stating the same thing: This wouldn't completely bother me either, but I recently saw a LinusTechTips video where the NAOS 8200 was shown to be not so great with large hands for palm grip. It may...

I know you said you hate Steam, but maybe you can look over this list anyway as I'm guessing not all of these HAVE to be bought through Steam: Steam Library Gamepad Support

Hawken seems to have less of a learning curve. I tried MWO today but couldn't get the hang of it right away. The only other mech game I played in the past was Mechassault on the original Xbox, which was amazing. I believe MWO might be a little more like Mechassault, so I'll have to see if I can...

What do you use and why? -Currently, Logitech G500 because I had heard that it was extremely comfortable, which is what I was looking for. Unfortunately, I'm one of the people who cannot comfortably hold the G500, but I'm sticking with it until I can justify spending more money on another...

Galaxy cards get very impressive reviews. Thanks for the opportunity to win one.

I have the M510. I can't stand it because the indentation on both sides (ambidextrous design?) makes it so that when I'm trying to clutch the side of the mouse opposite my thumb (whether I'm gaming or not), nothing is there! If you look on the product review page for the M510 on Logitech's...
