Reply to 64 bit gaming finally takes off in PC Gaming Stardock Forums

[quote who="Lord Xia" reply="1" id="3158512"]Well, there are few of us who are still using a 32 bit OS, my desktop still is, and the main reason I haven't bothered to upgrade it is I haven't been forced to. I will probably;y just get a new comp, as it's almost silly to by a new os for a comp that is over 4 years old.[/quote] Skyrim uses LAA, Fallen Enchantress uses LAA (supposedly) and might have 64 bit DLC coming, so yeah it's about time to move up. &n

Heck yeah. I'm digging it. My only complaint is the beginning area could be a lot more interesting. It's under NDA so I won't mention specifics, but it will turn some people off.

[quote who="gevansmd" reply="27" id="3131269"] However, beyond its appearance, forcing desktop and notebook users into a touch screen interface is stupid. The x86 and ARM versions are already incompatible enough they could have simply kept Metro for tablets and the old desktop for keyboard based PCs. My first reaction to Metro was a Facebook post I made, "Microsoft porting its ugly and failed Windows 7 phone interface to the desktop."[/quote] I used the dev prev

Reply to Did Apple put something in Microsoft’s water supply? in Personal Computing Stardock Forums

As for the main topic, I mostly view WinRT as a framework for the future. I'm sure as time goes on it will be more pervasive across all their products...right now it's one OS. Last I checked WinRT apps will cross compile to ARM and x86, but it hardly matters to mainstream developers yet. I'm sure it will be something to consider past Win8.

Reply to Did Apple put something in Microsoft’s water supply? in Personal Computing Stardock Forums

I believe Steam also takes a hard 30%. As far as I know its a common number across the industry. Personally I'd rather have a Win8 x86 tablet, but the Win7 ones are not cheap so I expect I'll end up with an ARM one. We'll see.

I don't have Flash benchmarks, in fact I don't have 6320 benchmarks but when the 6310 is capable of playing Modern Warfare 2 I would expect it to be capable of Flash as well. http://www.anandtech.com/show/4023/the-brazos-performance-preview-amd-e350-benchmarked/5 On the other hand, Firefox has been hardware accelerated since 4.0 <a href="http://www.mozill

Reply to Slow Flash performance in Personal Computing Stardock Forums

[quote quoting="post"] So after a new install of Windows 7 and the newest version of Flash I have noticed the games I play on Facebook run really slow. My GPU, Radeon 6320M, is built into the CPU. I was curious what can be done to make Flash games run faster. I have the processor set to run at full speed when plugged in, and I have 4 GB of DDR3 at my disposal, so what else can be done? I should also mention I am using Firefox version 3.6.28. Would upgrading to Firefox 11 help

[quote quoting="post"] So does anyone know of a program that will scan my PC and tell me what drivers need to be updated? Looking for a low cost or freeware solution. Also my computer takes forever to boot. It's just a few days old. I've gone into MSCONFIG and turned off all of the useless things that I don't need turning on when I boot up. I've also disabled anything that auto-updates. Yet the notebook takes almost a minute and a half to boot. Can this be due
