Hardware and Software split: Please Vote

[rpm]

Should we split the Hardware and Software forum into two separate Hardware and Software forums? Please vote in the poll above…

 

[LazyLion]

no, since our discussions about the software often concern the hardware as well.

My vote is that you seperate the "TV, DSTV, movies & Entertainment" forum from the other hardware forum "TVs, photography, home entertainment systems, computer systems" etc. Anything that is strictly hardware can go in there.

The other option is to carve off a "computer troubleshooting" forum and leave this one as is.

No from my side, the two are too closely related to split up effectively...

 

[Conradl]

What they said ^^^

 

[hj2k_x]

I went for yes...Pretty much on the fence, though. Don't mind either way. (The Classifieds on the other hand...)

 

[charlie_82]

No, I think it goes hand in hand

 

[DJNgoma]

I voted yes unless we just call it something like "Computer Related".

 

[The_Techie]

Not to mention that I'd have to start splitting the FAQ

 

[killadoob]

Why?

 

[Zenbaas]

No from my side, the two are too closely related to split up effectively...

Yes yes and yes

 

[LazyLion]

Where would it go in its current form? Hardware or Software?

I think he was asking why to the poll... not to your question

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

I vote yes ............. often a software issue gets lost in the flood of hardware issues. So yes please, split welcomed.

I considered it, always difficult when nothing is quoted I'll delete the post, since your quote will remain

Splitting it is just not practical. Consider the following questions, and where they would go hardware/software:

How do I measure the performance of my HDD/CPU/GPU?
My computer will not start?
I get a BSOD?
How do I recover data from my busted HDD?

Can think of 1 000 000 more examples....

Do you measure performance of a HDD/CPU/GPU with hardware or software
Hardware
Software

Software. What about how do I make my HDD/CPU/GPU work faster?
Hardware
Software

Hardware

Most people though would try to recover data from a broken disk using software. My point is that it is difficult to split the two, cause they will mostly overlap....

 

[chickenbeef]

No, everything works fine as it is

 

[ponder]

no, since our discussions about the software often concern the hardware as well.

+1

Voted no, I prefer them in the same place.

the poll, about splitting the section in two, is split in two

I was going to say the same
