  1. Indeed it is, makes my Inspiron 1545 run like a dream, can't say I like the gestures you have to make to use the metro, but it is more tolerable with the track pad than a physical mouse.

     

    All of the start-button apps I have seen don't actually remove or even block metro, they just  prevent you from needing to go into it.

    That's what I meant. If I don't see it, it's not there :D

    I just seem to recall @@Caelum mentioning you still have to use it even if you have one of dem programs.

  2. A large majority of people only need a computer for Facebook and windows 8 is pretty comfortable for that so no, I don't think it will go away any time soon.

    They MIGHT just MIGHT add an option to use start menu though.

    Even if they don't, start8 and ClassicShell exist for a reason.

     

    I hear it is pretty fast though. And I'm a sucker for solid colors. I just hope start8/ClassicShell remove all traces of metro.

  3. My computer crashed when I pressed the printscreen button. It may be a coincidence, but I doubt it.

     

    As such, I've decided to punish my computer by humiliating it on the internet.

     

     

    This is an adequate gif representation of my computer as a whole:

    I used to know this feel.

    You poor soul.

  4. Well like I said, the 'cache drive' is for the OS AND programs you use really often. That includes games.

    Unless you mod for a lot of games (I'm assuming only jka here, but I'm probably wrong) then I guess you could just get a 128GB SDD.

    And if even THAT'S not enough, then get a bigger one.

    But definitely keep an HDD lying around for other stuff and backups.

    Like I said, SSDs may or may not be unreliable.

     

    Just for the record, I have never owned an SSD. I'm talking from theory. Don't feel the need to take my word for it. Ask someone who does indeed own one.

    I can think of @@Caelum off the top of my head.

  5. You're trying to pick between having an SSD as a main drive over having a cache drive + HDD as a main drive, right?

    I'd go with the second option, really. SSDs are generally used for just keeping your OS and other programs that you use regularly (e.g Skype).

    Other than that, does one really need THAT fast r/w speeds :P? I've also heard that SSDs aren't that reliable, but that might be paranoia talking.
