You will learn that moms are never incorrect! Never!

Theres 2 ways this can be done. You can go to someone else with a Mac, and download the latest version of OSX from the mac app store, OR you can take the laptop to the apple store, with the SSD installed, and they will put OSX on it.

Because people think Mac is the same as cool or fast, wich they're not.

Heyyyyy I got those Sony speakers also they work like a charm

55in LED tv and 14.2 surround

I guess the only thing I really can think of that makes my setup different from others, is my desk's.

I like the chair thing I should have said something similar even though I somehow still enjoy my fold up chair haha

Don't squirrels hate ducks. hehe

i'm a big fan of ducky. quack quack

You will learn that moms are never incorrect! Never!

My mother has a gigantic TV (Refresh rate of 240Hz, resolution of 1920x1080. I'm not sure exactly how big it is, but it is massive.), but she never uses it, because she's almost never home. I decide one day to hook my computer to it via an HDMI cable which my Radeon 5770 supports (Because my monitor is only a 19" 1440x900 resolution 60Hz refresh rate Acer monitor). It was a glorious experience, and things even ran smoother because they went WAY past 60 FPS. I actually had trouble connecting the computer to the internet, but I thought that I would eventually figure that out.
 
Edit: Derp. I guess the "Smoothness" was just a placebo. Damn my gullible mind!
 
The problem is that when my mom came home, she saw the setup and told me that I wasn't allowed to connect to the internet because she was afraid that her TV would get a virus. She tried to justify her claim by saying that the TV has its own computer, "with its own motherboard and everything" (even though she doesn't even know what a PCIe slot is.) I told her that it doesn't work that way at all, and that the TV would not be harmed in any way because of the fact that viruses would not be able to function in her TV because of COMPLETELY different types of hardware, the difference in operating systems (Windows 7 vs whatever is in that TV), the inability of a virus to travel into through a PCIe slot, into my graphics card, THROUGH A BLOODY HDMI CABLE, and INTO A TV OF ALL THINGS, and the fact that the chances of my computer getting a virus is more unlikely than waltzing about happily in the sunlight and getting struck by lightning into a rift to hell and getting stabbed directly into the nipples by Satan's pitchfork, considering that I actually take care of my computer and am cautious of what websites I visit, have proper antivirus software, etc.
 
Jeez, what's next? Is her LAMP going to get a virus? How about her REMOTE? OH GOD, YOUR LIGHTBULB MIGHT GET A VIRUS! EVERYBODY, STOP CONNECTING TO THE INTERNET!
 
After I explain this to her, she still denies me, because "She doesn't want to take that chance." I consult my father (who lives somewhere else, and has been working with computers since before theses days: http://www.legitreviews.com/images/reviews/554/athlonxp_agoia.jpg In fact, there's a few similar processors laying around from when my dad moved out and left some here.)  a few days later and tell him about this, and he agrees with me that the prospect of a virus spreading from my computer to a TV and actually doing anything to it would be absolute hogwash. I come back to her telling her that my father says that I'm correct. She still does not accept. I come to her with more and more evidence and she does not care. What really gets on my nerves is that she won't even bother to research this at all, or find ANY evidence that can disprove mine, yet she still restricts me. I have my computer back in my room hooked up to the Acer Monitor, and I'm half-tempted to just go back out there and connect to the internet, because it's not like she's technologically literate enough to realize when a computer is connected to the internet. It also saddens me, to see such a beautiful piece of technology as her TV just go to waste. Nobody uses it except on rare occasions. She's also talking about taking it with her to someone else's house to use, even though that someone probably has an even better TV considering how she talks about how rich that someone is. This whole situation is a load of poppycock, I say! Poppycock!

Which model?
 
If you can maintain a solid 120fps, throw lightboost on. The clarity is stunning for games.

you quoted the wrong squirrel buddy I have been coding aswell though not really my thing though tbh

Keep in mind I play competitive fps games, and I don't know if they look "rubbish" compared to ips monitors. I would notice more in a 144hz monitor then a switch to a ips monitor. And yes I know that's a bad comparison, but you get my point I hope.

Yeah lets makeout! all three of us together!

OH MY GOD! YOU HAVE THE SAME MONITOR AS MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE (assuming it supports 3d vision)! WE ARE LIKE THE SAME PERSON! (Its a great monitor!)

I only went 15hz higher than 60, the difference quite large even at such a seemingly small amount.

Note : You can also use them as jet plane engines!

Another day, another thread on this topic.
 
Windows 8 was not garbage. It was, then Windows 7 would be too, as it's based on it. You should try things instead of listing to people who looked at screen shots and make an opinion out of it. Much like you did with Windows 7. You use Windows 7, you liked it. If you listen to these people making unfounded opinion, you would say how the "new' Start Menu of Windows 7 sucks, and how the task bar is an exact replica of MacOS, and how, as usual ('cause it's always the same story), this new Windows "broke" their PC, and now need to replace their hardware/PC.
 
Blue screen issues are usually related to hardware problems (faulty RAM making a driver fault, or a hardware actually not working right), or a driver causing a hardware problem which prevents Windows from restarting the driver successfully (a serious driver bug). We need to know more about the blue screen, such as the error you got, to be able us to try and start identifying the problem. I don't think getting Windows 8 will fix it (if it does, then it was a driver issue, and a simple Win7 re-install would have done the same).
 
Windows 8.x is a nice choice. And the Start Screen is actually pretty good, if you actually give it a chance, and start customizing it, like putting folders, making groups (example: General, Tools, Games, etc), which allows you to lunch them quickly, despite even if it's on the far right side of the screen with a mouse, because you need no precision, which you do need from the start menu, when navigating through folders. And of course, search is always there. Start -> type to search, like WIn7. Or do Win+Q to just get a search panel on the desktop show up, and type and search.
 
It must be noted however, that it is expected (but nothing announced on Microsoft part, and we know nothing, not even a rumor) that Windows 9 will be released on October or year end in 2015. As there is normally a new Windows every 3 years, but Microsoft might continue with the 8.x versions. We don't know.
