The only thing the xbone has improved is the graphics. The 360 controller is perfect except the D-pad. I have heard people complaining about the system updates. Takes two hours to install a simple update apparently. The 360 installs very quickly compared to the one. I think the xbone is running on windows vista :D

The first graphics card I bought on my own, a Geforce 4 MX440

 

I have one of those kicking about, i just use that for mobo testing when the board doesnt have onboard graphics or the on board doesnt work. The lack of Hardware T & L killed it in my opinion

Huh? I don't even own a console lol.

I was just interested in what you had to say to an already bashed to death console.

His endless dick jokes and toilet humor are annoying as well.

My first ever laptop was a budget Toshiba Satellite laptop back in 2008 that came with Vista on it. It was a gift so I could "work on school papers" without hogging the family computer. It worked alright at first, until I got into programming, then gaming, then online gaming, then game designing, then 3D modelling and rendering....

 

It held up for a long time considering all the shit I threw at it. Not well, but still. Even after I upgraded the RAM to a whopping 1GB stick. 15 whole fps in Half Life 2!!!

I asked for an ATI Rage Fury graphics card back when I was a kid because it had 32 mb vram.

 

Not realising that a 16 mb Voodoo 3 or TNT2 rofflestomped all over it performance wise.

 

It supported 32 bit colour, which the Voodoo 3 didnt, but it couldn't even run anything at 32 bit colour with playable fps.

Linus is my fetish.

Samsung Moment Smartphone I had 4 of these fuckers in less than 6 months, kept having to have them replaced. None of them had working GPS. Part of the reason I will never own a Samsung smartphone ever. 

I just want to sit back and watch the world burn.

I didn't own, but my elder brother owned it for a while and sold it for good: It was the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.1. HOLY that thing is bloated and slow! So much for a 1440p AMOLED display, when the thing falls completely flat at everything else.

It was a second hand tablet he bought, and the original owner had Cyanogenmod installed in it. Should tell you a bit about the original (TouchWiz) OS.

Not owned, but the HP ZD8000 I borrowed for college after my first lappy died wqs a behemoth even for tbe more muscular crowd. Thing could kill someone probably. 

 

That Pentium 4-m promised perhaps half an hour of battery life and slugish performance. The main redeeming factor was the Mobility Radeon x600 which made gaming passable vs the gma 4500MHD prior.

My camera lens sees the present…

I don't remember any of the specs but this thing was the first PC i ever bought, it's an old dell pc that i got second hand and i threw in a cheap graphics card so it would run Fallout 3. I had to set the HDD to the side so the card would fit lol.

A dual band D-link router (looked like DIR-880 but was N not AC) after the DIR-655, returned 3 of them because phones and 1 laptop wouldn't connect to matter what I did; switched to Asus RT-N66U after all that garbage.

Antec PSUs - had a few ticking, wasn't sure if it was the fan or something else but I didn't want it randomly go out or explode.
