Reading this makes me want a dashcam more... Seems like most people don't give a shit about anybody but themselves. I've seen 3 "accidents" where a car has merged lanes directly into the car next to it in the past 2 years because they were too busy doing something to actually check if I car...

If you aren't gaming then I'd recommend just going to the Advanced-N. Dual band support and the ability to get on 5GHz networks are nice features that you might want/need in the future, easier to upgrade now. I've got a Killer 1103 in my laptop and the only difference I've seen between my older...

Looks good. My buddy has one with a 650M (same chip, different clocks IIRC) and it overclocks nicely, you should be able to push the 660M is you're so inclined. He's got an i5 3210M and can play most stuff pretty decent although he is looking to upgrade to an i7. The only thing I would do is...

This times a million. I played it on PS3 a little and it was fun. Just don't port it like you did GTA4.

There is a start menu, it just looks different. I find my programs the same as I do when I use 7. I press the windows key and start typing what I'm looking for. I'm not trying to get in an argument or anything but if someone doesn't like it because they see other people don't like it then they...

I run Windows 7 on my desktop, Windows 8 on my laptop and HTPC, and I run Server 2012 on my server with Ubuntu, WHS 2011, and another 7 running in VMs. I also am getting ready to set up an unRAID server on Thursday. I don't understand why people complain about Vista. I used it for a couple...

Fun looking game and great music. I might just get this when I can actually buy it on Steam... why no Steam preorder?

Windows 8 will be great for tablets and home theater PCs. I use it on our HTPC and it is awesome. I haven't used it on a tablet or a computer with a touch screen but it seems like it would be really nice. I don't really like Metro for my desktop but the performance increases might make me switch...

Well my Mom is fine with my games. She actually likes watching some of them. I've been trying to convince her to play some Amnesia (She loves horror stuff) but since she hasn't really played anything else it would be too hard. My stepdad really likes some of my games, mostly racing ones although...

Well... that's kind of up to you. The one I ordered will only get 8GB of RAM (I ordered without, don't know if you can still do that) and that should be fine for my uses. I'll only use mine for games, school work, movies, that kind of stuff. The advantage to the MALIBAL Satori and other Clevo...

This was one of my favorite ones. What a funny show.

Alright, here goes. Since your budget is 2K I'm going to assume that you want an i7 and a high end graphics card, and if you can a nice screen. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Ok so i7 wise. You might as well get an Ivy Bridge processor. That leaves you with the 3610QM, 3720QM, 3820QM and...

You should order from one of the boutique manufacturers. MALIBAL and XoticPC would be the best. This is the XoticPC to look at: http://www.xoticpc.com/sager-np9170-clevo-p170em-p-4342.html This is the MALIBAL: http://www.malibal.com/notebooks/satori-p170em/ Drop an i7 3720QM, 16GB of...

You are plugged into the dedicated card, yes? And it is a desktop, or a laptop?

You should leave threading on Multi. It means that the game can use multiple threads or cores. Setting it to single would just make it run on a single thread or core.
