5900x seems a good performer with Photoshop and Adobe Raw to dng conversions

My Mazda CX-5 went from ~£400 to ~£750 on renewal last year. Tried 3 different companies......:mad:

I haven't actually used mine since they installed the meter and put a new pipe from the meter to my house (they had to as the broke my old "lead" supply pipe not far from the meter (I could hear it gurgling and the meter was going round when the house isolation valve was closed!!)). As part of...

You can buy them anywhere - screwfix, toolstation etc https://www.screwfix.com/p/faithfull-stopcock-key-universal-1140mm/656RH?kpid=656RH&cm_mmc=Google-_-Datafeed-_-Tools?kpid=KINASEKPID&cm_mmc=Google-_-TOKEN1-_-TOKEN2&gad_source=1&gclsrc=ds I would only use it in emergency though.

Don't know price now - I bought some years ago - just seems (as was for me) a very effective way for a low retaining wall.

I swapped a 3600 for a 5900X (after updating the BIOS) and noticed it much faster in downloading photos to my PC and converting the Olympus-OM "ORF" RAW files files to Adobe "DNG" files - does them in blocks of 12 so the adobe converter seems to be using more of the cores

But the comment alongside the original suggestion to upgrade was "Definitely is worth it I’d say, but it means a new AM5 platform." - just correcting that - perhaps a bit late in the trail......:)

5900X is AMD4

Lenovo do a good selection and often have money off offers?

iPad mins TOOOOO small for general use, particularly reading text.

Did you just run the Microsoft software to convert it? Are all drivers OK - including the Matrox sound card?

I bought my gen 8 for £100 with discount in 2014 and had win 7 and then win 8 - updated to Win10 a year or two ago but I don't think it will go to Win 11. Store all my photos on it (in a different area to main PC) and leave it off most of time. Just switch it on to transfer photos each month to...

Thanks all for the info - useful knowledge.

Does that mean something - or is it 3 words picked out of the air! Joking apart thanks for responding but I do not know what that means! BUT looking at google it's to do with CPU / graphics performance in games. I don't do gaming so I will keep it "off" in BIOS. Thanks, Mel

Thanks - I'll try that another day with a clear head!
