  1. AMD Reportedly Delaying Zen 3-Based Ryzen 4000 Processors to 2021

    Darn it! Figures AMD dumps coal in my stocking. So much for a Threadripper system this Christmas. Hopefully, they move to the 5nm process for Zen 3 CPU's. I really hope they did not push the RDNA 2 cards back as well.
  2. ASUS’s ROG Strix X570-E Gaming Motherboard Now Supports Every Generation of Ryzen

    I have this board in my system. AMD engineers did a wonderful job keeping the promise of backward and future compatibility for their chipsets with the BIOS as the only limitation.
  3. [PR] Fractal Re-Defines Efficiency with Define 7 Compact Case

    I recently purchased the Define 7 XL and I am impressed with the quality and style. I liked that I could install both Blu-ray burners and the amount space it has inside. I currently have a Ryzen 3800X and will likely upgrade to a Threadripper 4000 series system without any doubt it will fit in...
  4. Creative Announces Sound BlasterX AE-5 Plus for Those of You Who Aren’t Aware DACs and Receivers Exist

    I am still rocking an X-Fi Titanium HD sound card and Corsair SP2500 speakers. I have been looking around for a newer high quality sound card with RCA connectors for the SP2500 in case Creative does not release drivers that will work with upcoming Windows 10 builds. I will not go the external...
  5. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080/3070 Specifications Allegedly Leaked: Up to 20 GB of GDDR6 Memory

    If the 3080's have a crazy price on them, I will likely buy a big Navi even if the 3080's have much better performance. If the big Navi's have a crazy price, I will likely stick with the 1080 for a lot longer.
  6. What CPUs are in your Machines?

    I was thinking about the ten core 10900 until the price kept going up and up on them before my big pay-check arrived.
  7. What CPUs are in your Machines?

    I like the much quicker boot than the Rampage V Edition 10 and snappier feel. I just did not like losing 1/3 of the memory and two adapter cards as well as the quad channel memory. I was going to nab the new Threadripper until I saw the $1400 price tag just for the CPU. I saw the 3800X for the...
  8. What CPUs are in your Machines?

    I recently side-graded to a Ryzen 3800X and an Asus 570 motherboard from the broken 6850K system.
  9. Intel Core i9 10980XE CPU Review

    I was all ready to go with Threadripper for my new build until I noticed it lacked any entry level CPU's. A 16 core part for $800 or less would had been perfect. I need some more PCIe lanes and a slot, or two more than the X570 boards offer. That 10 core Intel part does seem appealing but for...
  10. Hulu Raises Price of Live TV Streaming Plan to $54.99

    At about $55 each month, you might as well go with cable or dish-based services with a DVR. I pay about $30 each month for a decent package and a DVR.
  11. The $700 Build That Could

    I would up the memory to 16GB and go with a Ryzen 3600 CPU.

    Some employers in the U.S. already do this. Lockheed Martin has a four-day work week for many if not all of its divisions.
  13. AMD May Launch Ryzen 9 3950X 16-Core CPU on September 30

    I have been on the HEDT wagon since the release of the Core i7 920 and look forward to seeing AMD's new offerings. If I can get together enough money this year, I will most likely go with AMD this time around.
  14. GameStop Announces Closure of 180 to 200 Underperforming Stores

    That was the last time I bought something from Game Stop as well.

  17. Microsoft Terminates Perpetual Office Licenses from Home Use Program, Pushing Annual Subs

    I am not fond of this renting software model. This is the same reason I buy cars and not lease them because I like to keep what I pay for. I know they do it for the increased profits and less worry about compatibility issues with older versions of software. If only Open Office was as good as the...
  18. AMD's Latest AGESA Update Removes PCIe 4.0 Support on Pre-X570 Motherboards

    I was just looking for a good performing stop-gap to replace the X99 system that bit the big one recently while I wait for Threadripper with DDR5 support. I was looking at purchasing the latest 1TB to 2TB NVMe drive to pair with an X3700 and a good X470 board. I admit that I am OCD about...
  19. AMD's Latest AGESA Update Removes PCIe 4.0 Support on Pre-X570 Motherboards

    So much for picking-up a good X470 motherboard for a great price.
  20. The Matrix Is Returning to Dolby Cinemas for Its 20th Anniversary

    Wow! I cannot believe it has been twenty years either. I was around when some of the Dirty Harry movies came out. Now, you kids get off of my lawn!
