i had a pair of early 60gb Intel drives. Can't remember exactly what they were but they were good quality for their time. I upgraded them for capacity before they died but they did eventually die about 6 or 7 years after I bought them. My point is: capacity & price of new drives made them obsolete before they died.

it is 100% OK to put games on RAID0. Worst case scenario you get an excuse to buy a box of beers on a weeknight and reinstall an operating system!

plastic won't scratch metal

CPUs perform mathematical problems. Some problems can be split up into workloads that can be run in parrallel and some cannot. Multicore CPUs are the answer to workloads that can be run in parrallel. I hope that helps.

scrape the hardcore dust build up with a credit card/plastic

SFF are really common in the ex-lease market. You need to head over to lenovo's website, get this model's manual, see what its expansion slots look like internally.

2009 CPU? I would not pay anything for that machine. I would offer to take it off their hands for free. Really they should be paying you.

When I clicked on the headline I was thinking, i bet this is 100% about ray tracing in minecraft.

before i could save up enough to buy these drives they had become obsolete

I don't know why FOB loves his USD. You will find your local pb tech has competitive prices. We have no FTA with US but we do have FTAs with many Asian nations; the taxes and delays are not worth it when you can buy direct from asia. I only use amazon when I cannot find something in NZ, Australia, or Asia. In NZ you will find they are priced appropriately. Performance is proportional to price. What you really want to ask is Nvidia vs AMD.

possibly. When I had a core2duo I used memory that was a higher frequency than my motherboard supported.

I dont think my wife will approve of cartoon cleavage

I thought it was intel that first pulled the northbridge off the mother board

amazing!

does a 2004 Honda Fit count as a computer? Its got a built-in mp3-style player that stores CDs. Its all in japanese so I dont know much about it. GPS is also japanese so it shows me in the ocean. It also has a 7-speed gear box which is a lot of fun. It's quite zippy for a little car. I wouldnt buy one for myself. I have to get accupuncture on my calves everytime i drive it coz it doesnt "fit" my legs. A few years ago I got a AIO quad core i7. The CPU was really good ~3GHz. The hard drive though was a WD blue 2.5" drive. It was pretty snappy. I'd happily use, again, one of these laptop-style desktop i7s that they put in thinclient/NUC/AIO

You can do interesting things with networking and storage without additional software. If drivers are open source then hardware installation is actually easier.

I used to kill time with War Thunder. It's got planes, ships, and tanks. I only played with planes. I recommend american planes coz the bombers are good. I stopped playing coz the missions are all the same; rinse & repeat bombing runs.

I have used one of those chinese phones without a play store. I'd rather have a feature phone/dumb phone.

Machines are making machines! I've seen how this ends!

I have been looking at getting this game for a long time now but my friends IRL don't play it. Do anyone play ARK?

right now i see a software license as like a ticket at a fair ground. You pay once and you get to go around the haunted house over and over again until you leave. You cannot go and sell your ticket to your neighbour even though you could have gone for more rides. I would like to see more liberty to the games market. I am not a stake holder. I am not a IP holder. I am also not an investor. The industry right now is being realistic in making sure their investors get their money. ideologically, it conflicts and brings up some hypocrisies with my understanding of free markets, so i am internally conflcited on this issue.

if the warranty matches then should we really care what they brand themselves? Might depend if you are in a market that gets piracy. That is an actual thing in some parts of the world. Where I live we dont have counterfeit problems, we also only get samsung/intel/toshiba.

I like that it was made smaller. I would totally sell that to my boss. Twice the computer in half the size should wow them. I bet the boss' current workstation has screaming OEM delta fans so the cooling options will also please them. I have never heard of that SSD brand. In my country we only get intel, samsung, and companies re-branding toshiba.

Give him three options. Goldilocks sales: one is too cold, one is too hot, one is just right. End of the day it was his choice not yours so you cannot be blamed!

prob not need ECC for a single user. A single user is not going to rack up the errors that a network-facing server would see. Back in 2010, AMD FX was the only desktop CPU that had a lot of cores and it kinda sucked. This would explain why he is using server level components. Bill Gates couldn't see a home PC using more RAM than his peen length. What software exactly is this guy using?
