    G3258... anyone still running one? Overclocked?

    I used to have 4 of them (bought them all at Microcenter as a combo with motherboard for $99). I upgraded two of the systems to a 4770K and a 4590 (getting about $20 reselling the old G3258s on Ebay). They were all running at 4.2 Ghz. Two of my G3258 systems are still running, used in...

    Any news on good Ryzen mobile APU or Intel w/Vega Laptops?

    Dell has a laptop with Ryzen and Vega, but the higher end is pricey: http://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-laptops/new-inspiron-17-5000/spd/inspiron-17-5775-laptop/dncwlgamd7001s http://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-laptops/new-inspiron-17-5000/spd/inspiron-17-5775-laptop/dncwlgamd7003s

    New laptop for work/casual gaming, how important is the processor??

    I agree with going for an i7, with one exception. The i5-8250u is perfectly good for work and gaming - it has 4 cores and hyperthreading, I have a laptop with the i5 8250u (Dell Inspiron 15 5570) and after using Intel tuning software, it actually outscores the average 8550u. Here are some...

    Replacing digitizer on tablet

    Nice you were able to get a replacement screen. I had a cheap windows tablet (Onda, but virtually same spec as yours) and also had the screen crack while traveling. I couldn't get a clear answer on what replcement screen to buy for my model. The system worked OK with the crack, but at some...

    Onda Air Tablet PC Intel 64bit Quad Core 9.7 inch QXGA IPS Retina Screen NOW 129 f/s

    I would guess that the eMMC storage is soldered onto the motherboard - at least it usually is in tablets - so you won't be able to upgrade the storage beyond getting a large microSD card.

    Onda Air Tablet PC Intel 64bit Quad Core 9.7 inch QXGA IPS Retina Screen NOW 129 f/s

    I did the same, but the first few times I tried to install the play store I received a lot of errors. However I was finally able to get it on, and now things are a lot better. So I'm reasonably happy now. Performance wise, on Android, it is pretty nice browsing with the built-in Android...

    Onda Air Tablet PC Intel 64bit Quad Core 9.7 inch QXGA IPS Retina Screen NOW 129 f/s

    I received mine today. There are a few minor scratches on the screen, which make it look lightly used. The biggest issue is the overall out-of-box experience. Windows: Wasn't expecting much here, but its not too bad. A little bit peppier than I expected. However it won't connect to my...

    Onda Air Tablet PC Intel 64bit Quad Core 9.7 inch QXGA IPS Retina Screen NOW 129 f/s

    I'm not expecting a great Windows experience with this tablet - I've already owned one with similar specs, and I know it will lag and bog down at times. Last I checked, the windows App store was still pretty crappy. I'm buying this mainly as an Android tablet, with the Windows OS being a...

    What the heck - I decided to buy one. I figure I can easily sell it for this price (or more) on Ebay if I don't like it, so there not much to lose as long as it is not DOA.

    Onda Air Tablet PC Intel 64bit Quad Core 9.7 inch QXGA IPS Retina Screen NOW 129 f/s

    Have to admit - this looks pretty cool, at least as an Android tablet. I bought the Winbook windows 10" tablet, which has virtually identical specs, but a lower resolution display. It wasn't bad, but the performance was just too inconstant. Sometimes it would work great, and other times it...

    960GB SanDisk Ultra II SSD $220 Amazon

    Received mine - it feels faster than the Samsung 830 that I had before. I think the same drive was on sale at NewEgg for a little cheaper, but I'm still happy with this deal. Don't worry about speed - this drive is plenty fast in real world usage.

    Figure out why home internet data usage is so high..

    My router is pretty good (well, it cost a lot), and does have a traffic monitor, but it's just the total traffic. I turned it on, and after about 5 hours I had downloaded a little more than 5 GB (so about 1 GB an hour). I work at home, and kids are at School, and there computers were asleep...

    Figure out why home internet data usage is so high..

    I check for unfamiliar MACs occasionally, and have never found anything suspicous. I use OpenDNS as my router DNS and that does a pretty decent job of filtering out websites. I also use an Ooma for VOIP. I had 20+ devices connected when I still was still DSL, and usage was around 250MB...

    Figure out why home internet data usage is so high..

    I am looking for a way to monitor how much traffic, by connected device, is being used on my home network. According to Comcast (150 Mb/sec service), my data usage in October was 850GB. I don't use Netflix or Hulu, so the only steaming would be Youtube. A don't use bittorrent that much...

    6s or 6s Plus??

    I'm a bit worried about the extra weight of the 6S plus. I currently have an iPhone 5, but before that I had a 5.5" Android phone. When you're using it, a 5.5" screen is great - however it sucked when you have to put it in a pocket. I ditched Android because the battery life sucked (or at...

    ios 9.0.1 killed my iphone 6

    Well - brand new phone, so probably worth all the hassle. My only trip to an Apple store was to replace my iPhone 5 battery which was recalled, and the replacement was free, even after I used it for more than 2 years. I happened to go there the day the iWatch first arrived, so it was an...

    Tim Cook: Apple won't merge iOS and OS X

    Well - I've installed Windows 5 computers at home so far. I've been fairly happy with it for desktop usage, but it is annoying to use on my tablet. The App store generally still sucks (I've mostly given up on Apps altogether) and it still seems like there is a huge disconnect between tablet...

    Itunes alternates?

    I'm might be in the minority, but I don't mind iTunes. While I use to abhor it for the bloat, I found out that most of the alternatives were just as bloated, and all other alternatives had their various problems. So I just bit the bullet and started using it, and it's really not that bad...

    Thanks for someone above reminding me of the 2 GB RAM upgrade. My 2 years is up tomorrow, and I can order a new phone. My company pays for the phone plan, but I pay for the phone myself, getting the 2 year contract price. My existing iPhone 5 64GB is an great shape (new Apple battery), and...

    It will be OK for gaming if you are at 1080p, or (preferably) lower. If the video card is equivalent to a GTX 460, then I have 2 of those on "gaming" machines at my house. They are paired with 1680 x 1050 and 1440 x 900 monitors, and they can handle any games we've played on them. Haven't...

    Samsung 850 EVO 2TB SATA6G SSD $749.99 FS @ Newegg

    Good to see these drives out - I think it's only a matter of time before spinners will be a niche product. But for now, its still pretty expensive at this size. A decent alternative is the Seagate 2 TB hybrid, with 8 GB of Nand. I recently bought one for my son, replacing an old 500 GB...

    Why should I upgrade from win 7 to win10?

    I agree with this in general - Windows 10 can be quite nice on a desktop, once everything is set: 1. Classic shell to get a more useful start menu (I like the old-school double-column) 2. Turn off all the privacy + telemetry crap 3. Get a decent background (or several for a slideshow)...

So I can confirm that you don't need a Microsoft account. The conversion from 32-bit Windows 7 to 64-bit Windows 10 required me installing...

    Add-blockers and MS Browser

    Yeah - I've tried to use Edge (and still use it fairly often) but overall it's just a lot easier to keep using Chrome. I've tried the HOSTS file trick before, but it doesn't block everything, and is not easy easy (or transparent) as just using a few good extensions.

    So, what's the general consensus on Windows 10?

    It's usable, and generally works OK, but things still feel a bit disjointed. Control panel and PC settings? It's not bad after you take some time configuring it, and even better with ClassicShell replacing the start menu. For desktop users, the Apps store doesn't really add any value. The...

    Why should I upgrade from win 7 to win10?

    I did it on 2 of my computers, as it was a free way to go from 32-bit to 64-bit Windows. I also installed Classic Shell to make the start menu more useful. if you already have 64-bit windows, then there is really not much of a reason to upgrade. The out-of-the-box experience is better than...

    So how are you liking Win10 so far?

    I like having the start menu back in Windows 10, and I've tried using it for a few months (been using Win 10 since the insider preview) but I finally cracked and installed the ClassicShell start menu back again. It's just a lot more functional - especially with the two columns option. Overall...

    win 10 forced update causes first casualties...

    Funny - 2 of the 3 machines I've updated to Windows 10 are overclocked G3258 systems. They are both running great (and very fast) - I'll have to look into this issue, though. For anyone finding this with a Google search, I'm running them at 4.2 GHz and 4.3 GHz, using an MSI Z97 PC-Mate...

    Anyone else having this issue after going to W10?

    Maybe your hardware is just not quite there. I have Win 10 on an AMD hex-ore sysem with 8 GB of RAM and Chrome runs well - although no matter what things will stutter at times if you don't have adblocker since it has to wait for the Ads to load.
