    Major ouch. At Frys they used to tape actual different processors on the display board behind the enclosed glass with prices next to it. One Athlon socket A processor was on the surface inside. It must have fell off the board. I asked an old Asian lady employee if I could buy that hoping to...

    $65M? I googled that and found out. This is the man who gambled Frys piggy bank dry: Ausaf Umar Siddiqui. Loved that Roseville Fry's train theme!

As time passes on, so did my DIY skills. I often spent several hours walking around deciding whatever to buy, sometimes with friends...

    What will be your go-to replacement for HardOCP.com

    Going thru my tech bookmarks and Hard|OCP's layout is best than all and is easier on my eyes. Black background, some red trims here and there makes a great layout. Most other tech sites are too blight white. Guru3D has a nice blue background, also easy on eyes. My next bookmark to read is...

    Microsoft Guy: Mozilla Should Give Up on Firefox and Go with Chromium Too

    Battlefield V NVIDIA Ray Tracing RTX 2060 Performance @ [H]

    Did Nvidia really test RTX 1060 with different games at different resolutions before packaging them to be sold in stores? Why do I get the feeling that they used demos enabled in Ray-tracing mode just to see if it works then stamped it a OK?

    Intel to Spend Billions on New Chip Factory Expansion in Oregon

    What a wasteful of $$ by Intel. They throw more money in just to catch up with AMD. By the time their newly built fab is in business, AMD are already on 5nm in both of processor & gpu dept. Intel have a bad habit of shooting in their boot.
