Another quest I would have is how do you like your keyboard, I am in the market for one finally, and I am debating what to get. I play with a gamepad in general fyi.
    ok ya have a few questions.

    first, yesh it is alotttttt of partitions and i took alot of time setting my system up before actually using it. the 2 drives actually have a total of 5 partitions in it. i have the main drive split into 180 gb for windows xp so i can still play with vb6 because is unsupported by vista and 7 with 64 bit.(i know there is a patch, but parts still do not work.) my vista and 7 both have 230gb partitions. i keep saying i am going to start using 7 as my default, but haven't taken the time to send all my mainfiles over yet. my other drive is split evenly as a slave drive and a games drive. all programs/ movies/ music is on the slave partition and all my games and gaming video is on the game partition.

    for the 580 i really don't run complete max settings, but have tested and get around 45 in ud even on max settings with alot of people. i will say it is a drastic step up from the 260 superclocked edition i upgraded from though.

    my score on high settings on the xiv benchmark is 4598 and low is and low is 4666 with the card running at 53 degree temps.

    on the keyboard i absolutely love it and will own one after another until i stop being allowed to buy them. the interchangable keyboards from a regular keyset to the game keyset is awesome. i started in console games and use a controller for games such as xiv, but for fps shooter games the huge movement keys is hard to beat for fast response. i have been fps gaming for probably the last 5 years so it fits the going back and forth perfectly. the only downside it has is the game keys takes some getting use to if you get lazy like me and don't change to the regular keyset often.

    So would you say that the keyboard you are using is for more of someone using FPS? Because I play with gamepad exclusively. The main thing that I am looking for is a regular sized keyboard that has a feel of a laptop keyboard. I had owned one in the past but dont remember what it was. I am not that picky with keyboards. For me it is more of the way the keystrokes feel.

    yeah, it is more for fps games actually. it does have a full size keyboard, but if you will not be changing back and forth between they keysets then you would more than likely want to look at the g15 and g19 keyboards. i love mine because i do some fps gaming so the movement keys work great because i can put them on when i want, but for someone that does no fps gaming i do not see any usage for it for you.
