    AMD Ryzen Pre-Order - Fulfilment List

    Your order (ST5265783) has been packed and is in the process of being shipped. I made sure to order the CPU on its own so it wouldn't run into other our of stock issues, just in case...

    @Robbie_G thanks for sorting a deal out with me - it arrived and is in awesome condition. Couldn't be happier with the deal we struck.

    Took about two working days for my cancellation from calling htem to getting the notification email.

    Can I upgrade storage of the Razer Blade 15 Core i7 (2020)?

    I would assume so, but that is an expensive laptop for what it is for less money you can get something like: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/gigabyte-g5-nvidia-rtx-3060-16gb-15.6-144hz-i5-10500h-gaming-laptop-lt-0d5-gi.html and if you shop around there are even better deals to be had

    The Ampere RTX 3090 Owners Thread

    The Palit one was playing up so returned it - as I was putting my 1080ti back in my phone exploded with discord alerts for the FE drop and well... At least this one streams without killing my USB headset and crashing in Stardew Valley o.O

    Finally Done It....RTX3090 Coming My Way

    I was going to wait for the 3080ti but given how easy its been to buy the current new releases when I got pinged on one of the stock tracking discords of a 3090 for £1174 and it was legit I snapped it up. Ppl will always bang on about you could have waited for the next great release but I have...

    Dell Dimension XPS D333

    I have 2 of a similar age, a D233 and D300 iirc and one thing to bare in mind is although the motherboards look like standard Intel ATX boards and have the same power connectors these use propriety pin outs, so putting a regular ATX PSU into will normally kill something on the board. Pretty sure...

    IBM 300GL

    Standard thing in something so old, check for the usual signs of corrosion around batteries and any build up of fluff around capacitors - especially if the metal on the top is domed or split then clean and/or replace as necessary.

    IBM 300GL

    Can also make a big difference if the SDRAM is single or double sided - think the ones with chips on both sides were seen as 2 dimms which not all chipsets or mobos would work properly with them.

    How the hell do Currys stay in business?

    Not my first choice I'll admit, but they have beaten like for like prices on most of my last white goods buys even if the ppl inside the store are clueless. Also if you have kids or someone with special needs and go through a lot of washing waiting an extra 2 or 3 days for a washing machine when...

    Commodore Amiga owners thread!

    I'm using the Cocolino 9 pin to PS/2 converter atm which I normally use my good old MS Intellimouse USB optical on with its own USB to PS/2 adapter and that works perfectly on all of the Amigas - even fits into the recesses of the big box models no problem. Not tried the Rys II so can't comment...

    Commodore Amiga owners thread!

    I'll agree to disagree with the Vampire enthusiasts in its current form - I looked into it and at some point decided emulation is emulation and took the cheaper and better performing alternative for that side of the hobby. Right now it sits in my mind like the PSX Classic does to the Playstation...

    Commodore Amiga owners thread!

    Okay sorry not meaning to get repetitive and we seem to be agreeing to the fact its an FPGA emulator so took some time this morning to show you what i mean. http://www.apollo-accelerators.com/ - there is no price displayed on there, you have to express interest and they mail you a price when...

    Commodore Amiga owners thread!

    Probably the unpopular opinion but I honestly can't see a reason for the V4 other than to milk the wallets of nostalgia goggles for an overpriced FPGA emulator. I mean come on IDE and compact flash in at least 2019? It does nothing that either retropi or any modern PC running Amiga Forever...

    Do you run an AdBlocker?

    uBlock Origin with Nano Defender on Chrome and my wife has uBlock Origin and Ghostery on Firefox. I also added a Pi-hole earlier this year and the day I did sites like imgur and ebay noticeably sped up in their access times.

    PlayStation Classic

    Only the original fat 60gb model could do PS2 emulation, the 40 and 80gb fats didn't have the hardware needed for cost cutting.

    Yup - here's the pop up I get from MWB for just loading this forum page because there is an image link to that domain on it:

    Checkmate A1500+ Amiga 3000 inspired case for A500/A600/A1200 motherboards and mATX + mITX pc boards

    Would love to check the site out but malwarebytes and f-secure both report it spreads computer aids so anyone in contact with them might want to give them a nod to see if its just a false positive cos they'll be losing some google traffic if their on a malware report list. Even the image in post...

    Prices make me tempted to go sli for fun

    I replaced a 980ti sli setup with a single 1080ti. It performs as well on its own as the sli setup did in games that like sli, and carries the better performance over to the ones that didn't.
