Not to also mention that thee pachislot market took a huge dump. Most of the peeople that play are all older, very few young people have any desire to play. Plus on top of that the market has been hit by revenue issues due to the economy and new taxes and regulation. Pachislot is not the...
Yeah that was one of the last ones we had, I am in a couple of the pictures too. I kinda miss thee BBQs though, it as nice to see all the regulars every year. Plus almost everyone brought a bunch of retro crap for me to haul home.
Techreport didnt sell out, it had reached a point of not being able to keep itself afloat. It had reached the point either close it down permanently, or sell it to a new owner that promised to keep it running. They went with the new owner so it would stay up, unfortunately he ended up turning...
I think brand loyalty should be a thing of the past, as i have had boards from pretty much all manufacturers over the years have problems or do stupid things that piss me off. My current board is MSI, as that had the features I wanted, and gigabyte who made my previous board did not make a...
CD booting was kinda a hit or miss back then as it really depended on both the board and the CD format. I never really used ME, so cant say for sure if it as able to boot. Im pretty sure my win 2k was bootable but it has beeen a long time since I installed that on a computer. My windows XP CD...
It doesnt look like it ever had chips on it, the solder balls and pads look too new. It likey was just a test board to hold the case together and was a non functional display.
Yeah I am sure that some of that is likely, but what game studio is going to invest in a MMO that they basically only have an idea of, and barely any real game. They are usually interested in games far along enough to just finish, not build from scratch.
I still dont understand all these 1 man MMOs that they are asking for $1k to $50k to do. There is no way that 1 person will be able to do that, and some of them show the client but that is the easy part. The game is only 10% client, the other hard part is the 90% networking and server. There...
well you were luckier than me and my 10 friends that tried to play together at D3 launch. we all got stuck with the dreaded error 37, and a couple gave up after trying for hours to log in. I gave up after 5 hours, and went to bed.
I didnt work there but I was a forum moderator for a really long time. Plus a lot of this admin stuff got talked about at the yearly BBQs we had, as pretty much all the mods, admins, and scott wasson used to go to them.
Sadly the new owner has turned my former home into a nightmare. I almost would have just seen them shut it down seeing what it has become. Sadly TR was loosing money for a long time, and reached the point it had to either be shut down or sold. It was hoped the new owner would give it a new...
Same here, been very happy with my MSI X570 Creation, been absolutely bulletproof since I got it in 2019. I will likely buy another MSI board next time I upgrade.
Yeah I bought a ton of panaflos and extra loud delta fans from sidewinder computers back 15-20 years ago, I spent a lot of money there. They wwere my got to site for all things fans.
Yeah always had a soft spot for Pentium pro dualies, think I have 3 or 4 kicking around in the hoard. They were such enormous chips with crazy amounts of cache, unfortunately that cache also prevented them from running very fast. Thats why P2s had the cache seperate on the cpu board.
Ive been running 64 GB on my AM4 system since I built it back in late 2019, and havent had any memory issues with it. I just made sure my kit was on the QVL when I bought it, plugged it in and set XMP.
