Re: Are you upgrading to Windows 8 on your gaming machine?I'm going to upgrade my PC to Windows 8.
I want more bells and whistles that I'm not going to use.
AND I want my PC to run slower.
MS pushes OSes because they are in the business of making money off of OSes!!
They'll change interfaces and stop supporting older OSes, just to make money! |

I wonder how many of these "other users" have been sitting on the same install of Win 7 for over 2 years without reinstalling... You would see a performance boost just by simply reinstalling a clean version of 7 this far in. |

I do clean installs multiple times every month, on both of my Windows machines. Not so much on any of my machines running Linux. |

Wow, every month!? Why? Once I get everything setup the way I like it, I don't want it to change until the next OS comes out. |

said by urbanriot:Wow, every month!? Why? Once I get everything setup the way I like it, I don't want it to change until the next OS comes out. Always have, since Windows Vista. I buy a new computer every other year for gaming, and the former gaming computer becomes my second Windows machine. I just bought my new gaming PC this year, so next year, I won't, and in 2014, I will buy a new gaming machine. The old Windows machine, will become another Linux box, the (in 2014) old gaming machine, which is now my new machine, will becoming my old Windows machine, and the new gaming machine will take its place as the new gaming PC. I just have always redone them, as clean installs, every so often. Games don't take long to reinstall, and anything important, like spreadsheets, files, etc, that I do on the other machine, are stored on network drives. I love how fast Windows 8 is though. Can't get over that. |

Wow, a new computer every other year? I'd like to be able to do that. I usually upgrade my GPU about that often. Still trucking away on x58, and I don't see a need switch (although I probably will when LGA 1155's replacement drops). |

You do it more often than I do, I'm also running X58 still, and will until at least this time next year. GPU upgrades I do every two years or so (9800GT to 6870 to show the frequency interval). |
