    XFX Speedster MERC319 RX 6950XT $519.99

    I bought a jar of fiber gummy bears; they're okay at first, though they dry out after a while and get hard as stones. But then you can put them in vodka and they plump up again.

    9950X and 9950X3D is going to be terrific.

    Remind me; on modern motherboards, if you install a CPU that is newer than the BIOS can you at least power up the system with the 'unrecognized CPU' to update said BIOS? I know way back when you could.

    Opinion: Could Broadcom buy Intel

    Doesn't matter when you lose $400m in 90 days as you juggle that larger money pile.

    Opinion: Could Broadcom buy Intel

    That's not what determines the financial size of a company. AMD has been worth more as a publicly traded company for some time now.

    [DEAD]Very [HOT] 7900X3D $330 @ Antonline

    All this complaining about a 12-core 3D-cache CPU for $300... Unreal.

    Super Flower 1200W Platinum PSU (with 3 120mm fans bundled): $144.99 @ Newegg

    Amazing price for a PSU that will probably last anyone for as long as ATX desktop PCs continue to exist.

    Target joins Best Buy and discontinues sales of DVD's and Blurays

    False equivalency. Movies don't need regular software updates to keep playing and to fix new compatibility issues. And while a game may leave the Steam Store, it doesn't leave My Library if I own it. The same cannot be said for digitally purchased movies and music.

    Target joins Best Buy and discontinues sales of DVD's and Blurays

    Good. It'll funnel the remaining demand to specialty companies like Arrow and Kino Lorber, as well as sites like DeepDiscount and, lately, Gruv.

    Pictures Of Your Dually Rigs!

    I really should run some good benchmarks on it. But in an all-core workload I feel like it would hang with a 975. My ATi GPU collection has gotten pretty epic; the flagship of basically every gen. Rage Fury Maxx Radeon DDR 64MB Radeon 8500 128MB Radeon 9700 Pro Radeon 9800 XT X850 XT Platinum...

    Pictures Of Your Dually Rigs!

    In the spring of '20, while I was on furlough during the COVID lock down, I decided to put together a '2000s Dream System'. I'd been wanting to do a dual socket AMD build for a while, originally around Athlon MPs, but couldn't find a motherboard that didn't have issues. I still wanted the...

    AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT $550 @ Micro Center

    Screaming deal, IMO. These respond well to undervolting too.

    The Mac turns 40

    Aye. The 68040 was pretty amazing. You don't realize how amazing until you see a Quadra 950 doing web browsing in a basic (custom) browser, which basically nothing else of the period could even hope to do. I grew up a Mac head, 68k and PowerPC era machines, but I felt like a lot of the magic...

    The Mac turns 40

    No, but at least it's more valuable than basically any other 68K Mac. I've always wanted one. Viva NuBus!

    Copying a DVD (literally) and removing region coding in the process

    Edit: Making an ISO backup from MakeMKV does seem to accomplish this, though the FAQ doesn't clearly state it. Closing thread... I'm in an interesting spot here; I still buy DVDs, including a fair number of rare titles from overseas. I also have an Oppo Blu-ray player that is generally...

    What Is Your Personal Favorite Video Card of All Time?

    I probably have to say my Radeon 8500 LE. It was probably the inception of me paying attention to GPUs. I also remember it being a sneaky good deal during its heyday.

    Details on Apple ARM agreement

    Going back to ARM's inception in the 80s, *nobody* has had more to do with the success of the instruction set than Apple. SoftBank should go shake a different tree.

    Black Friday - Hulu/Max/Disney+/Paramount/Peacock Streaming Deals

    It's funny how ad supported TV on paid streaming services is suddenly poison to people... especially considering that the commercial breaks on streaming are shorter than the commercial breaks on cable/satellite, which we all spent decades paying (more) for - and they still exist unchanged.
