I highly recommend this sound card! Upgraded from an X-Fi Titanium HD a couple weeks back, and it's been the best card I've used in the last 15 years. No driver bloat, sounds fantastic, looks great too. Awesome price AthlonXP, GLWS!
Can't say I've ever seen that issue before, though I don't use Chrome but a Chomium variant called Vivaldi. Regarding detection rates.. Never had an infection myself, and neither has my mother in law who's computer illiterate and browses facebook and crap all day.
I highly recommend the Dragon cable. Comes in lengths up to 3M.

I've been running it since it was renamed SecureAnywhere. Wouldn't run anything else on my personal PCs. Mostly, because it's super quick to install and it scans faster than anything else. Never had a problem or an infection. Rumor is that it uses less system resources than Windows Defender...
Not sure if this is the right thread for this, but free Darksiders 2 - Definitive Edition. Redeemable on Steam. M7R95-VJIP5-F27IV
Please post if you use it, so nobody else tries to activate it ;)
1080ti or 2080ti if you have the cash. 1080ti is a little less than 50% faster.

2080 is also a valid choice I guess.
4726 with an i9 9900k @5.0 across all cores. 3200 RAM. Will test with higher frequencies and more voltage over the next 24 hours, as we're in for some cooler than normal weather lol
I recently upgraded from an overclocked 5820k to a 9900k, also have a 1080ti but running on 1440 resolution. I'm seeing much better performance in Battlefield 5, so worth it for me. Benchmark scores have improved a lot as well. Unless you're playing BF5 daily, I'd say wait for the next generation.
I'm seriously impressed with how the old 7970 has held up vs the GTX 680. 7970 came out a year before the 680, yet is running circles around it. Great job AMD!
I'm still running my 920 in an HTPC box that can do nearly anything. Nehelam was great, but Gulftown even better! It does seem Nehelam was the largest jump in performance for Intel and the near future isn't looking too good.
RED designs some amazing stuff, would love to get one of these but it's way outside my budget. If you didn't know, Jim Jannard who started Oakley owns RED.
Another long night of patching Windows servers for this crap. SCCM and scripting helps of course, but think of all the man hours lost over stuff like this. Exceeds the cost folks pay to unlock their shit.
Geek Squad is hit or miss, depending on the store. I worked for them for 8 years, and ended ended up working my way up to ARA until leaving the company in 2013. During my time there NO customer data was available for external review unless data recovery was requested (handled by Knoll OnTrack)...
No, no plans for USB-C unless the next iPhone support it for faster transfer or charging. All of my storage is internal, so no need at the moment.
Kyle and/or Paul - If I win, can you autograph it? Paul - you're allowed to void the warranty in order to check everything out if it passes through...
I still prefer Webroot over any other AV, and gladly pay the $5 a year for a three machine license when it's on sale. Webroot uses far less resources than even MSE/Windows Defender. Norton and McAfee have crippled millions more PCs than Webroot ever has, though the new Norton isn't too shabby.
I've been a *nix user since 97, and a Gentoo fan since it first came out. These days, using Sabayon as my only Linux distro and still use Solaris as well if uptime is a concern. At work we use Suse & RHEL, though I'm not an admin of those :oldman:
