THat's why only the Hardware and Software sections need to split up into two separate forums. Forget the others. Makes perfect sense. It's not a major overhaul, but a simple division between the two. Software would be anything in the OS section, Photoshop, Office, WinAMP, Nero, DVD Copy, etc., etc. You get the idea. Hardware would be for motherboards, video cards, RAM, etc. If it's in regards to hardware, but you need drivers for it, that's software section. You need software for it, so that goes in the Software section. Hardware reviews, new monitors, recommend system builds, etc, etc, is in the Hardware section.
I can see this working pretty good.
