Preferably under win 11. As I expect that using a VM to run Linux will lose to much cpu/gpu power or has that changed. Other than using CoPilot I have no experience or knowledge on the topic of the underside of an LLM. My hope is to set up an LLM that has a persistent memory, one where I can...

My Brother-in-law, plus of course Sister, are looking for a new Router. Budget is $200. Its been about a year since I bought one myself, so time to start researching again. :) They have two laptops between them, old, slow, but they like them, laptops. The items that need to keep working are...

This is $800-1k for everything. Right now he is on a laptop and has only a mouse. One of my nephews is asking for help piecing out a new, first time builder, system. If he was closer I could give him a lot of crap but too far for it to be easily done. I've specked my own systems many times...

Getting ready to take another stab of linux. How well do the various Linux's in the Windows Store work? As a beginer-ish Linux noob which should I pick?

In a preachy mood, seems like the best sub-forum, feel free to move. WTF doesnt steam have an update all button? Also WTF does Steam only download one update at a time? Usually well below my top speed meaning a second data stream (and a few more) would be fine. Why cant/wont Steam allow for...

With Win 11, can we use multiple sound devices, say set the Chrome tab on my left monitor to use the built in (via hdmi) speakers for the episode of Law & Order I am watching, while using the much better quality Sterio/5.1 sound system for my game? Another variation of this, between my 3...

I know little to nothing on the topic. I'm looking for the FREE or really Inexpensive kind. Something better than Snagit which is what we have been using. I have Win 11 so Windows based would be good or I can run a VM (boot from flash drive) and do Linux as well. I slightly know Ubuntu but not...

Can it still be done? Cant find it in 23.12.1.

I use 2 4k tv's as my monitors. Windows see's them both as Generic Monitor (Samsung) Both monitors support HDR the older the 48" has 3d and using the fake dithering way to hdr and the newer 56" has regular hdr. Once upon a time (perhaps even in win 10 prior to my win 11 upgrade) Windows...

See sig for system specs. Best I can run my ram is 5200. Trying at 6000+ will result in a failed boot that goes to defaults and 58/5600 will lock the system resulting in needing a cmos reset. The ram is rated for 6400. Even at 2 sticks it will not exceed 5200 and even at 1 it wont do 6400...

I havnt followed PSU's closely, is there a new generational update to be pcie 5 compatible? Reliability and power efficiency are my primary concerns, though cost of the unit is a factor too, lets try for under $250 and preferable under $150-ish. I will also be getting a new x670e mobo, ryzen...

Ok, So I get me a nice x670 system, a 7950, decent amount of ram, etc, and of course a dedicated GPU like my 7900xtx. So is the igpu dead silicone that does nothing or is it utilized for its computations ability? Seems like a waste of silicone if it isnt.

Anyone have experience with this? Be nice to pick up a new TV/Monitor - I do not want to deal with screen burn though. I see articles but that's not the same as experience. What are the experiences of this great group of power users? -EB

I have not played any Dark Souls - the brutal reputation scaring me off. I'm big with RPGs - Elder Scrolls, MMO, and ARPGs Path of Exile, Diablo 1-3, Titan Quest/Grim Dawn, etc, I have, in the past, played a fair number of shooters, doom 1,2,3, heretic, hexen, Halo, etc. Is Elden Ring...

/Soap_Box On Good lord, I know it isn't just me being frustrated and there are a whole lot of reasons, I sure hope the scalpers get their karmic retribution. I just saw an 6800 xt on amazon for $1799 - and don't doubt it will sell. Any secret tricks or tips for a fellow forum user on how to...

I am at a spot where setting up space and equipment for VR in my Condo could happen. Any recommended brand and model? Any warnings, must have's, or make sure you dont.... type advise is much appreciated. My knowledge of VR is think other then there is a special Skyrim version and a nifty star...
