Been running the RTM since it showed up on Technet, and currently have it running on three boxes (My travel-laptop, the chatbox/mediacenter and my gamingrig), and I'm waiting for delivery of a WinPhone8 as well. Looked at getting a Surface, but cost here in Norway is somewhat prohibitively high...

If that had been the case, I'd be arrested and sent to the US a long time ago, and my friends in the US would have been arrested and sent to Guantanamo faster than you can say "cake" :laugh: And meh, so what if they tape the convo's. If they want to review insanity and/or angry ranting back...

I'm already running the RTM on three of my computers, and won't go back to Win7 unless I have a very good reason to do so.

I find it hilarious that Win8 is being damned as much as it does by people that probably didn't spend more than 5 minutes of being confused after they installed it before wiping the system and going back to Win7. It's pretty much the EXACT same story as what happened when Windows 95 came out...

If you're talking about web-/Email-hosting, then Linux will be the cheaper option since you don't have the license-costs involved when you deal with Microsoft-systems (Windows Server-OS + Exchange-server + Client Access Licenses = horde of money). If you're talking about Linux from a...

Brilliant idea, really. Strange that nobody has thought about this before.

Technet-subscription FTW! Running the 64-bit RTM on both an older Acer Travelmate 8371 lappie, and on my gamebox. No issues once I got my head around the new functionality and the lack of a startmenu. It feels faster than Win7 on both machines, no issues with gaming (Tested various Steam-games...

Got to love it when people get so hyped up about games that they don't read the systems requirements. Besides, any computer old enough to NOT have 64-bit capability won't be able to run the game anyway. :toast: I think it's good, and about bloody time, that devs are starting to push for...

Thank you kindly, Sir! :D Will check if I can get that here in this strange dimension called Norway :P Edit: couldn't find the GA-880GM, but did find the Asus M5A88-M EVO-board. Looking up some tests etc for it now to see if that might be something to go for.

Ahoy, Gurus! Quick question: Can anyone recommend me a good mATX motherboard that can handle the FX8150, or shed some light if there actually IS an mATX-board that can handle the FX8150? Haven't been able to find much on that so far. I do know that there hasn't been any 990-chipped mobos out...

Well, there's always DCS: Black Shark (Heli-sim that has an absolutely brutal learning-curve, but is great fun when you finally get the hang of it), and DCS:A10C Warthog, which takes Jetcombat-sims to a new level. Add in the fact that DCS are working on an addon that lets you tie together Black...

Rumor on the wire is that Microsoft will NOT give out third-party developement-tools for MSFlight, thus making it impossible for the MSFlightsim-community to create thirdparty addons like new aircraft, sceneries etc. Thus Microsoft alienate everything and everyone that made FSX (and FS2004)...

Here's the deal, AsRock and Panterx12: On an XFX-card, there IS no stockplate. The stockplate, if you can call it such, is incorporated into the main cooler of the card. When you unbolt the main cooler, the stockplate follows. And since that part of the stock cooler is just over an inch thick...

Well, after a few hours of tinkering with the heatsinks for the VRM's, the card has now been chugging away at both the Dx11 Aliens vs Predators benchmark and 3DMark11. The VRM-heatsinks were a few millimeters too long, so had trim them down a bit. Benchmarks are all implying that the card...

Just refit the card with new heatsinks for the VRM's. Had to trim them down to fit the chips (yay for Dremel :D), and paid very close attention to the placement and spacing between the heatsinks and the other components. The card will be left to cure for a few hours, before I apply goop to the...
