How did you manage to install Windows 8 on a computer with 512 mb? I'd like to know as I have an old laptop with about 320 mb, and I wonder if I also could install Windows 8 on it!

Congrats, your E-Peen is increased by 9000 points! Also, crap GPU lol the 465 was a disaster. EDIT: If you want, download PassMark performance test and run the CPU tests and watch your E-Peen go even HIGHER!
I never got used to Windows Sidebar ... tried to use it since Vista , but for me is a waste of visible space and each app takes a lot of CPU to run ... I don't know if the matter of CPU was improved nowadays , but i still have that feeling of "that doesn't improve my produtivity" ... Only thing that reseables sidebar and i use are the StickyNotes , only app i think useful
you think I should invest in some cable ties? my actual rig looks much worse and I have starting writing with a permanent marker on the cables to know where they go....
I'm using Windows 8 on both my custom (self) built Desktop (modern AMD-based technology as of a year and a half ago, except for the video card which is from 2009), and my Lenovo T400 laptop. I've also installed it on my girlfriend's Gateway NV53 laptop, and in VMWare Workstation.
On my Custom,self built i3, win8 is awesome, sry for win8 haters they are missing so much bye bye win7
GTX 465 was not amazing, but it was a solid card, it's based on the same GPU as the GTX 480 and 470, but with a big portion of the GPU disabled, the nice thing about that is that many GTX 470 were sold as GTX 465 just with a different firmware, and at the time a lot of people were able to unlock the disabled parts, also the 465 was released before the GTX 460, so it was the cheapest Fermi architecture graphics card, also it's a great card for overclocking... GTX 465 was only sold with gddr 5... also as far as I know with 1024MB (1GB), while the 470 had 1.28 and the 480 1.5 as for what I'm using, it's pretty simple, some cheap i3 and HD5700, but I build part by part, I never build full new PCs, I'm just constantly upgrading my PC for the last 10 years, I tend to change just a few parts when it makes sense, and I always tend to buy used parts and to sell my old parts, so I spend very little money with it...
HI, You don't necessarily need start button. Try to move your mouse to the bottom left corner on the screen and click. Voila! Almost the same. the start button is there, you just can't see it. Cheers
Hi All! I really like the new Start menu. First time was a little bit hard to control it, but after that i realized that you can use it almost the same way like the old one. 1. Click start: click on the bottom left corner of your screen. click again to go back to desktop You see? you click almost exactly to the same spot of your screen like with the old start menu. The difference is that you don't see the orb. But come on! How much more information, how better overview you can see in the new start menu? You cannot compare the two. The new start just rocks! Cheers,
