    Is there a way to bring back classic start button menu in windows 8.1?

    I recently upgraded to win 8.1, I thought they added the start button to the desktop and its useful menu but it´s just a link to the metro interface, it´s not the Windows 7 start button menu. My simple question, is there a way to customize the start button to open the classic Windows 7 menú ore...

    DDR3 speeds with i5 4570

    thanks for the answers, the only question would be why did they mean DDR3 to work at 3000mhz max if intel is supporting only 1600mhz maximum and already moving to DDR4, it´s like something doesn´t make sense with intel or the technology, but anyway it´s what we have

    DDR3 speeds with i5 4570

    Hi!, I`m considering to buy the i54570, I dont want to obevclock, but i found they only support ddr3 until 1600mhz, I wonder if i will have problems in the future since DDR3 1600mhz is standard today and I feel like an i54570 wouldn´t be future proof, I wonder if this CPU might use a faster DDR3...

    which mothrboard, z87 or h87??

    by running a 1866 you mean they run them at 1866mhz speed? or just run them but at stock 1600mhz?, in the first case would I need a z87 mobo right?

    which mothrboard, z87 or h87??

    I thought the K versions of the CPU had only to do with overclocking the CPU speed but the DDR3 speed could be overclocked above 1600mhz with a proper mobo and without a K CPU. That means with the i5 4570 I won´t be able to use faster DDR3 than 1600?? If so I feel like this i5 4570 system would...

    which mothrboard, z87 or h87??

    I´m building a system with an i5 4570 and 2x4gb 1600mhz. I narrowed down my choice to one of these mb: gigabyte ga-z87m-d3h or ga-h87m-d3h, The only difference is that the z87 allows RAM overclock speeds higher than 1600 while the h87 not. I could get a faster RAM in future so I might use the...
