    I recently came under attack from a virus and was forced to reinstall all my software. Complete memory wipe.

    Will all those Driver things that enhance my performance be carried over?

    Complete memory wipe.
    do you mean hard drive wipe? if so, and i'm assuming that you are running windows and you reinstalled windows, they are lost and won't carry over.

    But most manufacturers have their drivers on their site for download.. Most do. There might be some that don't. I know Dell does.

    Newer drivers are better because they tend to help alleviate problems with things like BSODs. Newer graphics drivers can make games slightly faster.

    It's also likely to get those involved in it on these boards suspended....

    Can we not have any fun at all? I was just about to post another Console > PC post in this thread until I saw your warning. This would have been the perfect thread for it.

    Although its mostly harmless, I think everything got covered last time round. It's beyond the scope of this thread anyway; the question was answered in the first response.

    I dont think anybody actually cares about any advantages either platform has, be it ps3, xbox, pc whatever - its just good for a nice bit of banter and fun trolling. Fun times had by all.

    As BTOG said, PC versus console arguments can warrant a ban if exploited too much. As far as the forums go, those types of debate threads always end up in flame wars and insults for days. Hence, us mods and managers being rather strict on it. Sorry all, but we're just lookin' out for ya!
