So in theory, it's possible to have duplicate windows-activated os's on multiple HDD's? (not saying I'll do this, but I'm really curious)

Assuming the hardware is identical. You'd have to ask someone who knows more about cloning than I do what would happen if you had two identical PCs and tried to run the same OS on both of them.

If the PCs weren't at least identical motherboard, chipset drivers would probably cause some... enjoyment... with trying to do that.

I bought a new, bigger HDD and made a copy of C: to the new HDD. At that point, I could select either of the two HDDs as the one to boot from in the BIOS, and both Windows copies would boot, both being activated. When booting from the second HDD, Windows would use its partition from there as C: drive. This was with Windows Vista, if I remember right.

I do not remember what happened to the rest of the partitions and their drive letters when switching the main-board slots the cables go into and changing the physical order of the two HDDs.

From what I read, apparently Windows keeps some kind of score with points for each device in the PC, and stays activated when devices change, if the score does not change too much. I do not remember reading any details about those points and the score.

Can anyone recommend me some good software to take stills/capture video with my webcam? It's a Logitech C920 but I really don't want to install the Logitech bloatware. Right now I'm just using the Windows drivers without extra software and it works great for Skype and gchat.

I guess I could use XSplit, but does anyone have any alternatives?

So I have a beta version of Windows 8 and I'm not sure if it has a built in firewall ( or a good one at that ). I have AVAST antivirus installed and I'm wondering if both firewalls will clash. If so, which firewall do I use?

Videos like this one lead me to believe that my system in underperforming. I tried to recreate the scenarios presented in the video and record the fps. I get 15-25 less frames than him in fights like the ones shown despite having similar system specs.
i7 2700k
amd 7850
asrock pro3 z77
12gb ram

What can I do to troubleshoot this?

His resolution is, apparently, only 1280x960. Is your resolution really that low?

Well what about this? Hes also playing @ 1080p and I'm pretty sure my card blows the 460 out of the water if im not mistaken. Same with the processor 1155>1366

There's way too many factors in benching for this comparison on it's own. If you honestly think your system is underperforming, run a test with something like 3dmark11, making sure you have all non-vital processes stopped first. Actually, Vantage might be better, since you're specifically complaining about a DX9 game.

Unfortunately, unless you run an identical test, you're guaranteed to get meaningless results with a comparison like you're using.

I'm not being able to install patch 1.4.4 because of this error:

The file "D:\Program Files\StarCraft II\Versions\Base21029\patch.SC2Archive : Mods\Liberty.SC2Mod\Base.SC2Assets\Assets\Units\Terran\VikingFighterDeath\VikingFighterDeath_01.m3" could not be written. If this problem persists, you may be able to solve it by uninstalling and then reinstalling the game. If you are unable to correct this problem, please contact Blizzard Technical Support. (MPQTarget::Write/SFileWriteFile)

Any idea?

getting some random freezes while playing games. not very frequent (happened like 6 or 7 times in 1 1/2 months) but still annoying.
system:
i5-2500k / HR-02 Macho / Gigabyte 560ti 448 / Asrock Z77 Pro 4 / BeQuiet 450w E9 / Crucial M4

if it matters, freezes started on the day d3 launched/ i first played it. cant remember any before but build the pc only like a month before that so... but freezes happen in all games(d3,akrham city,dota2,bf3).

any easy pointers?

Going offline on xsplit turns off the wireless on my PC. I need to disconnect (as it says I have limited/no connectivity) and reconnect it to get back online. Has anyone else had similar issues?

This may be related, whenever Flash crashes, it disconnects my internet aswell.

I am running a intel dual core g860 3.0ghz processor with 4gb of ram, until I can afford a nice GPU, I am running integrated graphics (i know, the horror). I can run sc2 fine on low graphics right now, but I was wondering, what other games are fun and run easily on intel's integrated HD graphics? thanks for your time!

The problem is the way SC2 is programmed. There is absolutely nothing you can do to change that and a better video card won't change a thing.

The only solution is to overclock your CPU. That's why you paid extra for the "K" and Z77 so... start by doing a mild OC (like just increasing the multiplier to 42, disable turbo, leave everything else on auto - especially voltages - it should be stable). That'll increase your minimum FPS by quite a bit.

This is all assuming you have some aftermarket cooling, of course.


What?

He's got a high end i5 ivy bridge and you don't think that should be able to run SC2 above 30FPS on all Low settings? With everything on low he should be getting stupid high framerates, unless he left something like physics set on high. Also, the ivy bridges have been proving to get pretty hot when overclocked. Without an after market cooler I would not suggest trying this.

xeo1, open a new thread. This isn't really a simple question and trying to keep up with answers spread out over 3 pages is going to be annoying as hell. If you can, run something like a 3D mark or a PCmark just to give everyone a baseline idea of what type of performance you're getting out of your hardware.


im running them now, and will start a thread shortly after. thx!
