"Good" Wifi is a bit of an oxymoron. Stick to wired, if at all physically possible.

If this is how an oxymoron looks like, I'll take it. Wire only takes me a bit higher towards the 500Mbps cap. The only reason I still hook as many devices as possible is to keep radio chatter to minimum. Having said that, the 2.4Ghz band is a blood bath in urban environment, I would definitely stay wired if that were the only option."Good" Wifi is a bit of an oxymoron.

Still trying to decide if Coffee Lake will get me off of my Gulftown hex core... Haven't voted yet, undecided.
One must be stark raving mad to not make that move
Or, in a more normal approach; you'll notice the benefits of such a true upgrade, and quite notably IMHO.
Should we get off your lawn, old man?Still trying to decide if Coffee Lake will get me off of my Gulftown hex core... Haven't voted yet, undecided.
Just using Cinebench as an example, a decent Gulftown score is about 11.11 OCed, as seen here:I'm sure you're right. I just use it as a toy nowadays (games and media), but it was an expensive build at the time (for me) and up until now the annual release of Intel quad-cores were disappointing.
To be 100% honest - I think my motives in putting that on the forum was to get a response like yours and use it to convince myself that "it's time".
I'm pretty sure it worked.
Thanks!
Gonna stick with an ivy bridge or haswell i7 for 2 years see what happens next year with ryzen gen 2 and next gen intel
Ryzen Gen 2 is just a clock bumped version of this year's Ryzens, and next year's Intel should just be more cores.
So for those getting Coffee Lake which ram are you going to pair it with?

I already have the G.Skill RipjawsV 16GB DDR4-3200MHz (F4-3200C15D-16GVK) for many months now. I bought those waiting for Ryzen only to find out that they wouldn't work at 3200Mhz with the first AGESAs. I've seen them listed as working now, but all AMD did, is make me wait long enough for Coffee to arrive, which will potentially make them lose a sale, but I'll see what I'll do at the end.
Fun fact, I bought them at 148euros and they have shot up to 187 euros now. They even went above 200 at some point.
I do hope they are instantly compatible with Coffeelake however, since they are essentially "Intel" ram, with XMPs and all.
I won't do anything less than 4133 CAS-16.
