    They definitely need some tweaking before they're reasonably stable (4GB Enablers, ini tweaks and such) but I've never heard of a Bethesda game causing BSODs even without those.

    Because more clicks = more faster as the PC realises you're in a hurry... I have noticed this too though :lol:.

    From some of these posts I think my experiences weren't too bad :D.
     
    I thing this one is common, but too many people I know end up installing everything any websites or program suggests, to a certain degree it's understandable, I mean programs like McAffee's trial or Babylon search can easily be downloaded and installed with other products that you need (such as Flash or Reader, if I remember correctly) if you're not paying attention, but sometimes you find people with some 5 toolbars on their browser, tons of spyware, random programs which they don't even recognise or remember installing. Then they have their desktop full of shortcuts which they don't need, installers which they have already run years before, attachments which have been downloaded some 5 times over.
     
    I find it really stupid and surprising how many people just keep ignoring all the alerts for updates... I mean if it's annoying just accept and it will stop bothering you, and many times they're a year or more out of date, I know people who are still running iOS 4 on their iPhone 4 and Firefox 13 :D.
     
    Here's a recent story: a friend was complaining how her laptop was full and she needed to upgrade her laptop (notice how I said laptop, not hard drive)... I checked My Computer and sure enough she had about 200GB free in a completely empty partition and her system partition (some 20GB) was completely full (which was, admittedly, not helped by my attempt to quietly update to SP1 which she had been ignoring).
     
    In the past few years I was present pretty much every time anyone in my or my girlfriend's family was going to buy some sort of electronic device, usually it ends up with me talking to the salesperson while they stare not comprehending a single word we were saying, but I guess it's better that way, although I do try to involve them and explain what the difference really was but it would be very obvious they had no idea and do not really care which to choose, even though they'd be spending up to 1400 EUR on it :lol:.

    Isn't that exactly what Apple does? and then customers come away impressed with the performance of a macbook compared to their previous laptop... completely ignoring the fact that there is a 1000 EUR price difference which is somehow suddenly viable because it has an Apple logo.

    I have a 12$ membrane keyboard a TN panel monitor and an H61 mobo using onboard sound... Also, I think many people are not understanding what the OP tried to say.

    I prefer using Afterburner since I'm using it for overclocking anyway and the OSD is much better than Fraps, both are good for screenshots, definitely better than steam.
