I definitely don't love it. Maybe the upcoming update will improve things I'm not overly fond of. I really miss Aero, not a big fan of monochrome tbh :(

Necro -.- So, I left with Win 7 box with "check for updates and let me choose when to install them". Seemed to have worked, until this week, and now it's like January all over again, CPU stuck on 100% from svchost.exe, checking for updates sits there taking the p*** for hours on end and...

I tried installing Firefox 64bit on a Vista notebook last week. Got an error message saying it only supports Windows 7 and up. Had to settle on the 32 bit version :s https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/43.0.4/system-requirements/

The Vista notebook has 4GB of RAM. When I say it "froze", that isn't entirely accurate, more it became stuck on update 172 for over 3hrs, any open windows wouldn't minimize and show desktop did nothing. Task manager wouldn't open either. It did strike me that it was acting like all memory was...

Indeed. Having frozen at update 172, which was a Windows Mail filter update (super important no doubt), restarting the computer made it go into a recovery mode and seemingly forget the previous 171 updates it had downloaded. So I had it update in blocks from oldest to newest, anything big or...

IE11 already installed on Win 7. Installed IE9 on Vista, but no change. Both installs are x64. I've had a smidge of progress by manually downloading and installing the December 2015 update agent for the Win 7 machine. Now after a few mins I get error messages saying (randomly) "firewall...

Is it broken? Trying to update a Win 7 box and a fresh installed Vista notebook and they've been sat there for hours "checking for updates", with a CPU core being 100% loaded on both machines. I'll give it another hour then just disable WU as it's 100% useless in this state.

Don't think you're safe running Windows 7 or 8: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-update/what-is-diagnostics-tracking-service-which-was/253fe2ec-fba6-4240-bfb8-2a3bdc801ed1?auth=1

Cancelled the "free" upgrade reservation. There's nothing remotely "free" about it.

I thought there was no real benefit to push Skyrim past 60fps due to engine/physics quirks?

The MSI has 3yr warranty compared to the Galaxs 2yr if things like that matter to you :cool: Also MSI hasn't changed their name into gobbledegook lately :p

I would've gone for that but in the end I decided it'd be wiser to get a card with 3ry warranty for the same price. Galax(Y) really need to match their competitors in this area.

Been trying to order for past 20 minutes with my Visa debit card and getting this error: Sorry, but the payment process has failed. Response: (3100) Invalid PaymentTypeDescription Edit: managed to checkout using PayPal instead

I predict the GTX 970 is going to sell like cakes at a gluttony convention :p

Spam :)

Yeah, I had vanilla Skyrim already but got the LE version when it was on sale due to it being considerably cheaper than the DLCs.

It's so cheap cos the DLC's cost a fortune. The Legendary edition at £6.79 is the one to get.

New gameplay vid:

First: Diamond Stealth 64 (technically a VGA adaptor). 3Dfx Voodoo 2 was my first 3D accelerator paired with a Matrox G200. Fave: GeForce 2 Ultra (back when games were smooth and responsive) Worst: GTX 280 (fast, but unpleasant to live with) Honorable mention: Radeon 9500 that softmodded to 9700
