I don't think Apple uses AMD CPUs at all.

 

"Intel-based macs" is to specify the difference between the past Macs that previously used PowerPC CPUs. You're right that Apple doesn't use AMD, and AMD isn't the reason we have to specify Intel. PowerPC is

I thought that the only CPU manufacturers were AMD (or GlobalFoundaries if you want to be specific) and Intel.

A few months back my friend was on an anime forum and decided to teach people how to get Godmode on a windows PC.  His thread got taken down because one person came on and said it's a virus.  He did explain what it was and was later able to post it up again and not have it removed, but man these days everything people don't understand is a virus.

IBM still make PowerPC chips. There's a few other semiconductor companies making CPUs. You have to remember there's ARM CPU manufacturers like Samsung, Apple and Qualcomm etc. too.

Back in the day the CPU market share was much more diverse, with even Sun Microsystems making chips and stuff.

Yeah, it works on 8 also, already put it on my father's PC for whenever I have to muck around with it.  I assume it's something that's going to continue to be a sort of "easter egg" in windows OS's from 7 and on.

Bookmarked it :D it will be nice when I finally have a windows PC again and not this shitty chromebook. -_-

The year is 20XX. Everyone plays Fox at TAS levels of perfection. Because of this, the winner of a match depends solely on port priority. The RPS metagame has evolved to ridiculous levels due to it being the only remaining factor to decide matches.

Only Abate, Axe, and Wobbles can save us.

Well, it's not really special. It's just options loaded in one file.

I haven't posted anything in this topic for a while so here goes my rant:

So we run multipoint server 2011 which in itself is great for teaching students (you can lock and project screens etc) but is horrible as a regular os. The person who screwed are school over in doing this has since left his name was Bob or something so Bob HAD to ONLY have Internet Explorer anything else was not going to work with are grade management software and other teaching tools. It's been a mess. Teachers get 1 computer with a promethean board. The teachers comouters consist of a core 2 duo and like 4 or 8 gigs of ram the multipoint servers in the lab consist of an i7 and 16gigs of ram not super bad but Photoshop runs horribly on them...

@XtremeTechGaming told me the following today:

 

One time he was building a PC. Top of the line, GTX 780 and an i7 and whatnot. It just so happened that the timing of his build coincided with his tech-illiterate relatives visiting. His uncle took the PC WITHOUT HIS PERMISSION and brought it back to Texas for his six-year-old to play, guess, FUCKING FLASH GAMES ON A 780. XTremeTech said that the computer slowed down due to the family installing random shit, and they got so mad that they RIPPED THE 780TI out (without unscrewing or releasing the bracket on the slot) and BROKE THE FUCKING THING IN HALF. He said to me that he would never let them touch his technology again. I told him to get the system back, but apparently the illiterates got so mad at it they destroyed the entire thing.

 

A moment of silence was held for the system.

Jesus, that's tragic. How the hell did they end up taking an entire computer without him knowing though?

They took it from him like this:

 

"Gimme that PC." *Takes it and gets on next flight to Texas*

 

I feel bad for him.

How did he even split a card in half? I thought it would be physically impossible. Extreme system just to play a flash game? Man, that's a waste.
