  1. I recently upgraded an 8-year old GAME PC. It ran most games at nearly full settings 1080p with only a graphics card upgrade.

  2. (Whether this is going to work out as planned is, of course, another question.)

    No it's not. Outsourcing to India never works.

  3. Re:Substantial boost in performance??? on Windows 10 Now Runs On 300M Active Devices; Upgrade To Cost $119 After July 29 · · Score: 2

    In the real world.

    I have an old Asus eeePC netbook. I put an SSD in it and it runs pretty fast with it.

    • XP Home - came with it, ran OK.
    • Vista-installed, but took over 2 minutes to boot. Unusable.
    • Windows 7-had similar performance to XP.
    • Windows 8-wouldn't install on 1024x600 screen.
    • Windows 10-fastest version of Windows on there yet, by far. Taking 768MB out of the working set of a 2GB memory machine does wonders.

    He gave permission. Didn't you read the EULA?

    Even better, the MAFIAA can review his music now, because he signed up for that as well.

    Don't kid yourself for a second. Trump could be SOOO much worse than Hillary. You think the world hates us now?

    Can you give me the full list of people prosecuted for perjury? It's not prosecuted very often, which makes the Bill Clinton scandal a witch hunt. And I voted for Bush Sr.

    No way Trump beats her in the general election. The polls make that pretty clear.

    Well, he WAS friends with the Clintons. Is it OK to borrow a phrase from a Republican? "Mission Accomplished."

    I was just happy that Greenpeace did something useful for once...

    If the harmonization were UP, then that would be true. But it's more like lowering the rest of us back toward Chinese levels.

    I agree. When I saw the price, I thought, "Well, as least they didn't pay too much for it."

    Because nVidia has spent millions making sure that the top PC titles MUST use their new, exclusive features. Just look at Arkham Knight on console vs PC to see what that looks like.

    Mine too. I use it all the time when I don't need to type too much.

  16. Maybe that's the plan. Level the playing field by gutting Intel's high-end market.

  17. So why go through it twice then?

  18. Every chip reader here takes over 30 seconds. It's completely frustrating. Just one more reason I buy everything on Amazon.

  19. CVS killed Android Pay on purpose, so I don't go there anymore.

    Amazing how that "drug user" predicted something that we're actually talking about 2000 years later...
