    The [H]ardForum Perpetual Freebies Thread

    I still have a couple of external modems, but don't have duplicates of them. May need to check if that old bbs is still working. 😂🤣 I may have a 33.6K US Robotics that I may be able to part with?

    Recent visit to Microcenter - what it was like inside

    MicroCenter is my Stop and Shop for PC hardware, been to 3 of 4 stores in NY. Just went to the one in Brooklyn for an Intel AX200 wireless kit. Back in the days, CompUSA and Circuit City, rebates galore.

    Internet Explorer Part Deux. Grab some popcorn. Microsoft hasn't learned from its antitrust law case.

    Regularly downloading large files to SSD

    Do the math, 8-10GB a day? On basis of 10GB a day, 1 TB in 100 days, so 3.66 TB per year for argument sake. This should be way below the TBW of the warranty of 3-5 years. In a nutshell, you should be fine. Consider the type of NAND and the warranty.

    WTB: 2x 16GB DDR4 SO-DIMMs, any speed

    Will it benefit from faster memory? Nothing faster supported by the processor, at least according to Intel. https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/88967/intel-core-i76700hq-processor-6m-cache-up-to-3-50-ghz/specifications.html

    The [H]ardForum Perpetual Freebies Thread

    My mistake, I just tried it, it was a Motorola charger, but not for Startac :( I looked it up and turned out it was a charger for the Motorola Nextel i1000; was wondering why it didn't fit in my Startac. I will have to search the house again next time when I am back.

    Anyone dealed with MSI rebates before?

    One thing I learned with rebates, watch that billing address and shipping address. If they are different, they may deny it. I fought Gigabyte on that note one time, they caved and sent the rebate. Glad to hear you are getting your rebate.

    Found the Startac charger on Sunday afternoon, but given the age, the plastic/rubber that insulates the wire has cracked or come off a bit. Don't have a picture now.

    Windows 11 May Not Run on Early Ryzen, Threadripper, Skylake-X, or Any Pre-2016 Intel PC

    This is bad comedy. Dear Microsoft, I want to run Windows 11 on my i7-950; still on Windows 7. 😂🤣

    Anyone have experience with Inland's warranty?

    MicroCenter makes Emtec looks good. I had a 240GB SSD that failed within 3 years warranty; sent an email with copy of receipt from Micro Center. They replied back saying they will sent me a replacement; the replacement drive was 480GB (sealed). Sorry to digress, but Micro Center should have...

    Anyone have experience with Inland's warranty?

    You should try to find the warranty terms; some companies will refund purchased price. For a SSD, very surprised they didn't offer a replacement.
