Need help fast! MW3 for $30 worth it? 1 hour left for the steam sale lol!

Hi. I installed Windows 8 Consumer Preview in VirtualBox. It is my first time using virtual technology so I have a couple of questions. 1. Do I install my GPU/Audio Drivers inside VirtualBox (eg Catalyst Drivers)? 2. What should I do to improve the sluggish performance? I already set 2 GB Ram.

I played the Flight beta and the final version will be released soon as free to play. Based on recent news, it will only contain the Hawaii location and about 4 planes. What??? Can anyone confirm this? I was really hoping that it will have the vastness of FSX. I am quite disappointed...

As you can see from the pic below, my HS1A cable is coiling like crazy and breaking apart! I've only been using this headset for 2 months. I take good care of all my stuff but this thing is just hopeless. Straightening the cable does not work as it will just go back to its coil position. I...

ME3 will require Origin to play on the PC and a LOT of people are b*tching about that fact (same as BF3, etc.). But really, what's with all the hate about Origin? Some people even go as far as to say that they will pirate the game because they don't want Origin. Someone please explain...

For those of you guys who have signed up for the beta, it is now ready for download. I feel that the performance is a lot better and smoother than FSX. Enjoy!

Initially, I thought that LGA 2011 and LGA 1366 have the same cooler mounts. But then I keep seeing new coolers specifically for the LGA 2011 platform (eg NH-D14 SE2011). So do you really need to get a new mount for LGA 2011?

My brother has a PC with these specs: Core2duo E6600 ATI 4850 4GB Ram This computer is having a very very hard time running Witcher 2. Testing at different resolutions and turning down all the video settings still yields 15 fps average. So to improve performance, should he upgrade CPU...

If they don't need it, then they simply don't have to buy it. What's with all these dirty comments?

My Windows 7 does not automatically go to sleep mode after overclocking CPU. Is this normal? My hunch is that EIST and C1E is the reason why windows won't. However pressing the sleep button manually works.

Apparently my pair of active studio monitors do not have the same volume level. To make them sound balance, one speaker is set at around 50% and the other is around 40%. Good thing both are active so they each have a volume control. Is this normal?

I am currently running a [email protected] with a CPU voltage of 1.25V (in bios) / 1.224V (as shown in CPU-Z). Is this voltage just about right? Or is it too low or too high? I've done some benchmarking and gaming without any issues so far. Thanks.

For those people who are using AHCI, if you go to BIOS and change it back to IDE, will Windows 7 still boot? I am asking because mine still boots and I thought it shouldn't.
