Posted July 17, 2017 How many of you is guilty of "I know this is way too overkill for me but I got it anyway" syndrome? I just realised that almost all of my money went into buying something tech related... Most of the time I buy something that is a bit more overkill for me.... Needs 8GB of RAM? Get 16G anyway. If it is not broken, let's fix till it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 17, 2017 Overkill suits me. Maximum longetivity out of a system, and no matter what I do, what I experiment with, I've got hardware that can handle it. Come Bloody Angel Break off your chains And look what I've found in the dirt. Pale battered body Seems she was struggling Something is wrong with this world. Fierce Bloody Angel The blood is on your hands Why did you come to this world? Everybody turns to dust. Everybody turns to dust. The blood is on your hands. The blood is on your hands! Pyo.

I don't mean from the amount of work it takes to start coding. I mean from the usability perspective. An IDE on a weaker laptop, Linux or Windows, is something I won't recommend. Having something powerful enough to warrant a dGPU is a much more preferable option. Come Bloody Angel Break off your chains And look what I've found in the dirt.

Posted July 17, 2017 Overkill a totally unknown concept There can never be too much memory in your computer There can never be too much storage space on your computer The computer can never be too "fast" You can never have too many weapons in your cabinet And not too much ammo for those weapons The list could continue indefinitely, but .... You probably got an idea why "overkill" is an unknown concept to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 17, 2017 I'm not as bad as I used to be. In the old days I had a dual Xeon with 6800 Ultra as a file server, purely as it was too noisy for gaming Now it is more about number of systems than what an individual system is. I keep thinking I need to reduce some of the older ones but I always run out of time before I dismantle it to sell selected components. Main system: i9-7980XE, Asus X299 TUF mark 2, Noctua D15, Corsair Vengeance Pro 3200 3x 16GB 2R, RTX 3070, NZXT E850, GameMax Abyss, Samsung 980 Pro 2TB, Acer Predator XB241YU 24" 1440p 144Hz G-Sync + HP LP2475w 24" 1200p 60Hz wide gamut Gaming laptop: Lenovo Legion 5, 5800H, RTX 3070, Kingston DDR4 3200C22 2x16GB 2Rx8, Kingston Fury Renegade 1TB + Crucial P1 1TB SSD, 165 Hz IPS 1080p G-Sync Compatible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
