    Another racist wins a GOP primary

    10-4. Don't know the timeline on him at all. I suppose now you'll know what his district is made of.

    Another racist wins a GOP primary

    If a person with any platform, ideology, or character peculiarity runs, openly expresses his/her platform, ideology, or character peculiarity and wins his primary, is that not the correct representation for that district?

    Supreme Court rules nonunion workers cannot be forced to pay fees to public sector unions

    Same here. Everyone starts with an ability range. Then work environment takes over. Getting the best out of personnel is creating the best possible environment. If given the ability, the good apples will weed out the bad. Over protection of personnel stunts this process.

    Supreme Court rules nonunion workers cannot be forced to pay fees to public sector unions

    Thankfully for you the experience was positive. I cannot say the same. Were promotions based on performance or seniority? One example that sticks with me is promotions to equipment operator positions based on seniority not ability. This can be a direct path to an injury or death on a crew...

    Supreme Court rules nonunion workers cannot be forced to pay fees to public sector unions

    I'm 100% for private sector unionization. Having physically labored and managed in both union and non-union environment, I can see the benefits and baggage that both carry. There are consequences to non performance. I also have to deal with public agencies that are unionized. I cannot...

    A four step guide to Global Warming

    If we would allow more solid and reflective pollution into the atmosphere, more of the radiation would be reflected back into space. If we did not try to make every third world nation on this planet into a first world comfort zone, well you can fill in the blanks. More people, more livestock...

    Sarah Huckabee Sanders kicked out of restaurant

    Snowflake says listen here maggots. Certainly not mad, just sad. Mostly sad that an enormous number of people have bought into the left vs right playbook of the puppet masters that have arranged for the sheeple to occupy their time while being fleeced.

    Sarah Huckabee Sanders kicked out of restaurant

    Ironic that members of an ideology that champions inclusion and diversity would embrace the opportunity to engage, and perhaps inspire change in the mindset of an influential person perceived as an obstacle to the ideological goals, would express themselves, and their beliefs as both individuals...

    A Trip Back to the Past (LGA775)

    Kudos for being an old school tinkerer. It's been forever since I've tinkered w/ 775 stuff, but have you ruled out an FSB hole in your mobo/hardware combo? I had experiences where I could not run any multiplier in a small range of fsb speeds. You can run at the 286 fsb w/ 17x but not 287...

    Are you planning on buying (or already bought) an AM4 Raven Ridge APU?

    No. Still rocking a 2600k. Yes the newer cpus are faster, but the 2600k overclocked still holds its own quite well. DDR4 cost is simply too much to warrant an upgrade given how little a performance increase I'll see. I'd love to get a 2200 and OC the bejesus out of it for $100, but not at...

    2500K... 6 years ago! My, how time flies!

    Nice. Had most of the Abit 440BX boards both slot and socket. Settled in on BP6 w/ 2 Celeron 333 bumped to 504 iirc. Regret selling. Unbelievable performance on the cheap. Got out from under my Pentium Pros quickly. On topic - have a p67 w/ 2600k. Not really seeing the need to upgrade...

    CPU pricing curves.

    Total cost of the board plus ram comes into play for me. The DDR4 expense is outrageous for a good enough build.

    How important is socket compatibility (CPU upgrade path) to you?

    Just another consideration when contemplating an upgrade. However, I can say with certainty that Intel has lost 2 or 3 cpu purchases from me due to marginal performance gains AND requiring me to change the entire platform. Had there been compatibility thru 3-4 icore iterations, I likely would...

    Retro Gaming (2001): Overclocking a Duron

    IIRC one of the 3200+ steppings has a 400fsb. Believe they were not popular due to cost and the fact that nearly every 1700+ overclocked and coupled with a quality nForce2 board (8RDA+, NF7, etc) and mushkin DDR400 would get you to the top of the heap on a shoestring budget. Used a lot of XP-M...

    What were the specs of your first computer?

    First I used? Pong, Atari, Intellivison if they count. If not, first used was probably a gigantic punch card fortran computer as a kid. First used as an adult an 286/386 computers in a design office. First purchased was a Pentium Pro 200 for $3000+ when they first came out (1995?). $3000...

    Ancient Rebuild

    Fired up the old XPS 600 to check out web browsing. Somewhat dismal performance w/ the native P4 660 and 1gb ram. Some webpages ok, some slow. The ads and sidebars are killer on the old hardware. Didn't have time to drop in the PD 945 or find the old DDR2 sticks. I used to be active here a...

    Ancient Rebuild

    Larry, have been looking at the out-of-service or refurbed C2D and early model i-series machines and workstations, but what fun would there be in doing the sensible thing. After looking at used parts pricing, sensible thing seems to be parting out the XPS 600 and fleabay it if I don't think the...

    Light stuff would be all that's going on I suspect. I'm not overly familiar with the various linux offerings. What would be closest to windows in the gui interface? I'd need to learn it quick, then teacher my parents. I'm familiar with open office and several other programs that would...

    Ancient Rebuild

    I have an old Dell XPS 600 lying around that I want to spruce up and give to parents for internet browsing. They certainly are not power users. The board is limited to 4gb ram (which I have in the junk box). Also limited to P4 era cpus (no C2D), so I was thinking of tossing in a Pentium D 945...

    Best choice for LGA 1156 CPU?

    Seems like used hp 8100 sff i5 or i7 systems run $70-$120 shipped. Bare i7 860 or 870 seems to sell at $50-$90 plus you need a video card. So if you really wanted to play with a 1st gen i7 hp 8100 sff, may as well buy a complete used system unless you luckout finding an i7 cheap and already...

    Why so much FUD/BS regarding Ryzen on these boards?

    6 months ago it was advertised/speculated that Zen would perform at Sandy levels or above. Seems that Zen is, as advertised, performing at Sandy levels and above. Not sure what's to be criticized at this point. I'm still on a 2600k with no economical reason in sight to upgrade to Intel...

    Old Core 2 Duo E6600 (2006) just died....

    Computer locking up in the middle of booting.

    Have a Sandy Bridge / Memory combination that is finicky. Memory needs to be 1.62-1.63v. Not 1.65v. Not 1.6v. Drove me nuts since one would think SPD default would work. Different than x58 setup, but just throwing it out there. Also, I usually back out all the hardware back to bare bones...

    Your thoughts on getting a just-right-for-today, not-futureproofed board

    What was your most significant CPU upgrade?

    Same board - Abit VR6?? running a low speed overclocked Celeron 300 or 333 to an overclocked PIII Tualatin around 1.6ish. A long time ago. Board switch - C2D 6300 to i7 2700k. Used to switch hardware like a maniac so not alot of huge changes.

    Upgrade often, but cheap, or buy big for the long haul?

    I think many of the "long haul" proponents think that way in the context of hindsight (lack of Intel or AMD performance increases as of late) combined the inability to overclock cheap parts (at least on the Intel side). On the Intel side, it's been 6 or so years since on could take a bottom end...

    Anyone remember modding their 9800 Pro to 9800XT?

    Never a 9800, but I modded the vanilla 9500 to a 9700 (then overclocked it) to 9700 pro levels. 9500 pro had a different 128 bit pcb, 9500 non-pros were on 256 bit 9700 pcb. First graphics card I ever modded/oc'ed was a Matrox Mystique.

    Post your old CPU which is still being used as a main PC on a daily basis.

    Two functioning desktops in my home in the process of replacing. Pentium 4 660 at 3.6 ghz (I think) in Dell x600. Also replacing a c2d 6300 1.86ghz on an Abit AB9 board. Laptops I am looking to replace. Dell D800, 8600, and B130. All Pentium M.

    NVidia should bring back 3DFX branding.

    If you bring back 3dFX you'll need the Matrox Millennium, Abit BP6, and the 2 Celeron 300a cpus to roll. Those were the days.
