It’s somewhere between a 1050 Ti and an RX 570 in general, has a hell of a video encoder and generally modern feature set, and has the option of running without a PCIe connector, though the models that have one are certainly faster under...
Not really. Apple doesn't make products that are comparable to the shitty parts bin laptops, at any price point. You can look at just the memory spec and try to compare 8GB vs 8GB, but there is more to a computer than that.
At $1400, you get...
Great to hear the memories of experiences like this. Without posts like yours, the history of these devices will vanish as there's nothing in print that will stand the test of time offline.
Ah, yeah, I remember the Volaris. I was in touch with someone in their U.S. office and had the opportunity to beta test drivers on hardware they'd have provided me free of charge, but I passed on the opportunity after an extended family member...
I think I'm coming to the end of "modern pc" gaming after 30 years in the hobby. This trend of possible 2500.00 gpu's combined with "modern games" that really don't target my age bracket is forcing me to reevaluate my priorities. At least I have...
space heaters. ;)
You should get some of those shadow boxes for them.. I used these for my collection:

I prop them up with little stands...
TRADED FOR A 16GB ARC A770. THANKS FOR LOOKING!
What it says - I want to sell this immense slab of an RTX 3070. It is in good working order and a stalwart, capable performer. I’d like $290 shipped within the continental U.S. This was never mined...
Looking to sell an old Apple iMac 27". The thought crossed my mind to convert this thing to a standalone monitor, but I just don't have the time and desire for a project like that right now.
Model A1319 (Late 2009)
Intel i7 860 (Quad-core...
I'm pretty sure I remember finding some planetary alignment of multiple rebates on a 260 right after it got discounted and I got it for like $200 or something silly.
I might have even found the deal on these forums
Served me well
I’m pulling for Intel at this point - AMD’s GPU development may have been intractably stunted by their starvation days, and their software team just hasn’t been able to scale to broad competitiveness. I’m not downplaying how good their hardware...
If you’ve ever been “fortunate” enough to crack open an E1.L (Ruler) cartridge then you are met with a long ass board just slathered in memory chips and controllers.
If it’s multiple logical drives you would be hard pressed to know where one...
is that the large wave of blind rage going around for a single sub-point on a list of several areas on an optional set of guidelines that says something like "Consider if they [female characters] have exaggerated proportions?" oh yeah that's...
Quoting, because I had an MSI-manufactured one that I flat-out adored. Within its limits the card was rock solid, and I loved running all my old games with angle-independent anisotropic filtering and antialiasing forced on. I think I sold it...
I think the rumor was that Nvidia had proposed their own version of DX9, while ATI did as well. Nvidia was confident that Microsoft would go with theirs, but because of the problems with the Xbox and Nvidia never giving Microsoft a break, they...
Man I remember being a broke kid when these were around and I could only afford a shitty PCI FX 5500 256MB. It wasn't great, but the games I ran were playable, and it pulled long hours in the cheap Compaq that housed it until it eventually died...
The "reason" you use things like FAT/vFAT/ExFAT is for compatibility. You're not going to just plugin a ZFS "whatever" into "something" and have it automatically understood.
Even in the case of typical computer OS's, ZFS isn't necessarily...
