RetoastTry pasta

 

That was autocorrect. 

Ryzen 5 3600 stock | 2x16GB C13 3200MHz (AFR) | GTX 760 (Sold the VII)| ASUS Prime X570-P | 6TB WD Gold (128MB Cache, 2017)

Samsung 850 EVO 240 GB 

138 is a good number.

That's right isn't it? AMD cards don't function the same as Nvidia's do.  That's why I've heard AMD cards are better for async computing whatever that is.

As far as I know, a Nvidia GPU must work instructions in chronological order. That's why they don't get nice performance gains on asynchronous compute APIs. AMD, on the other hand, can work each instruction in the order it is issued by, so it doesn't need to bench an instruction that was issued out of order. I think that's right...

IMO , cant really blame old people for not understanding tech. 

if she was 40-50 and thinks that apple is the best thing that happened sesne the invention of fire ( looking at some of my family members ) then i would get dizzy on trying to explain how a android smartphone works. 

but sense she is 60-70 , give her a pass folks ( and fyi , just talking generally, the conversation inst pointed towards your fams really. just using your grandmother as an example and i dont mean that in a bad way) 

Hell , if i was 60 , i wouldnt know how tech worked in 2055 or sumthing...... ( presume i live that long enough to see that......)

No I think the reason why she doesn't really know much is because she never had time to pay attention to the innovation as my other grandmother who just turned 67 kinda did.

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

So my dad has two pretty decent builds both of which the family uses. About a year ago my grandmother who is sixty seven was visiting and as part of here morning routine she would check these spam sites like natural news. She doesn't understand click bait and scamming so she was subscribed to atleast a dozen newsletters. Another based part of this is when we woke up and went into the office we walked in on her using the CD drive to hold her coffee mug

Well, why would you put a bare CPU on carpet, and then what constitutes that the Q9550S should be $95?  

Hell, I just bought a Q9550 for a third that price.

Q9650 I think, got it for $30 CAD (me)

i got it because i had an existing 775 motherboard and it was temporary

Not a good idea in general.

 

Also, yes, the 920's are the same price... until you factor in cost of the motherboard.  I have almost everything for an LGA 775 build from work either for free or super cheap.
