Should almost always remove bloatware, unless it gives a specific feature.
Also it sounds like you're using audio over HDMI a feature that isn't supported in DVI (I've heard of one person saying they had it working, but I think they're crazy). Personally I'd just use a dvi cable and then get proper speakers and use your built in sound card.
This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
