    USB flash drives are a great invention

    A 'few' is the key word - what is the price of those? Want to cite that? I was shopping for a usb flash drive a while ago - and I gave up - the prices were so bad $/per gb - and the majority are super slow - for copying especially but also write speed. Also, I suggest the speeds the...

    Nvme M.2 ssds - to consider (1tb, 2tb, 4tb)?

    I couldn't find any nvme m.2 threads - is there any change in what to recommend/consider if in the market (or trying to be) for a nvme pcie 4.0 m.2 ssd? I am wondering if prices might go up again. Right now, I think the more popular ones are still good choices - but, is there anything to...

    USB flash drives are a great invention

    You didn't include the price of these things. The other crappy thing about these usb flash drives - is the fact many of them get really hot while in use - and thus, the life span isn't very long - you can read a lot of reviews of 'my usb flash drive died...' - yeah, probably because it got so...

    USB flash drives are a great invention

    I'll say......NO! Where on earth are you getting this? Another planet? USB Flash drives are horrible value and they're slow - many made in China - which profess certain speeds are discovered not to be even in the ball park. Just look at the reviews on Amazon of popular usb flash drives -...

    When can we expect to see 4 TB NVMe drives with DRAM for $200?

    In the USA, you mean, right? Everywhere else, they're still a million dollars just for a 2TB. I am interested in a data 4Tb Nvme ssd - but, here, they are well over $300 (avg $350) - for the lower tier brand names - they probably are dram-less, too. I am thinking of just getting a 2tb nvme...

    Buy a 7900 XTX now, or wait?

    8800 XT will be a disappointment - my prediction. It's the last series - before they go from RDNA 3/4 or whatever it is - to UDNA. https://www.techpowerup.com/329003/amd-to-skip-rdna-5-udna-takes-the-spotlight-after-rdna-4 I'd buy a used 7900 xtx when ppl sell theirs to go to the next nvidia...

    How big do you make your uEFI and /boot partitions?

    I'm trying to decide on a Fedora/Arch dual boot (Windows won't be on this SSD - it's on another nvme ssd) system but still not sure how to partition. Both file systems will be btrfs but not sure how else to do it. This is so confusing. There's good arguments for a separate home - but, not sure...

    RDNA 5 speculation

    AMD has plans to change their gpu division name to 'Nvidia 2' but they can't get the power consumption down... at least, the prices match up.

    Best 360mm AIO Cooler?

    The 'Kraken 360' - which version? NZXT has several - I wish they wouldn't have such confusing naming models - the one that is most available is the 'Elite' - but, it's their low/lowest tier model. The others are really expensive and for me, I doubt it's worth it - however, they have Linux...

    Worst CPU's of all time?

    AMD Bulldozer for sure. No debate on that one. I don't of anyone who had one (for any considerable length of time). IT was junk.

    AMD is a Software Company

    AMD gpus are good in Linux for using a browser and perhaps, some gaming, but anything else in the productivy realm - any software required - then, it is subpar - and some ppl even claim unusable. Some poster before this already discussed rocm. The only reason some companies buy AMD gpus for...

    Nvidia 4xxx in stock on their website

    Nvidia has no reason to reduce prices when idiots with money to spare will just pay whatever they charge - sorry, if you already bought these cards - oh, wait - not sorry. No, I will not apologize for overspending on nvidia gpus - and some ppl here think I'm an nvidia shill....lol. I understand...

    What Mouse and Keyboard Are You Using Right Now?

    Can u guys recommend a mechanical keyboard? Does it make sense to just buy a cheap one to 'get going' or should I invest in a 'good one' right away? The only ones I have some familiarity with - are Keychron models - but, it's only because I've researched it a little. I have seen some Razer...

    Radeon RX 7900 GRE Review

    I hear you. If the 'debate' is strictly about gaming - then, for sure - the argument for AMD is at least, a lot better - and the 'features' in gaming - I've read various debates about that. I was mostly looking at the entire picture or full scope of gpu use - including use outside of...
