I popped in a surplus i7-3770 from i5-2500k and want the upgrade you have. What is your i7-12700K configuration? What single-core apps feel fast? Office and Web browsing snappier? Is M.2 a must? DDR4 or DDR5?

Did you have any trade-offs gaming on laptop compared to desktop ie loud fan? 80086 16Mhz 80286 33MHz 80386 1.4Ghz AMD Athlon 2.4Ghz Intel E6750 C2D OC to 4.0GHz Intel i5-2500K 3.4-3.9Ghz Intel i7-4770 Currently failing to justify an upgrade for office and web surfing activities. Convince me...

Good memory and thanks for correcting me. The PC upgrades from 4C/4T to 4C/8T. Photoshop filters run faster. I don't notice any other performance improvements. Idle heat is higher, load is lower. Power usage is slightly lower. After trying to install gt610, the display would not turn on...

I am leaving sandy bridge with Ivy Bridge i7-3770. While I could upgrade to a more recent system, it's nice to have an 8-core system for the first time. For general office work, youtube, no gaming, is there any benefit using a GT 610 GPU instead of integrated GPU?

I use i5-2500K as the daily driver and am checking in.

What GPU is optimal for playing games on Unreal Engine 5 at 1080?

I am still on an Intel i5-2500K for web surfing and Word. Looking for suggested thread posts on an upgrade path.

For years, my system was stable but in the last month it crashes under specific cases of general usage (no gaming, just surfing on web and MS office). I have an i-5 2500K overclocked to 105x 4 (4.2Ghz). O/C never had a problem until now. 1) I opened chrome + website that loaded a 360 view of a...

At least you didn't get an email from him reminding you to have a valid email address..that's not replyable because it's read-only. Sounds like he's commenting on AMD not releasing any Ryzen price, performance, benchmark or hard release date. No Vega details, either.

IS the AC1900 from Asus that much better than the Asus AC1750?

What may AMD do then if it wants to compete in the GPU with NVDA and in CPU with INTEL?

:) Yes. DDR4 is just a way to force users to upgrade to a new standard, even though there are no real world (or price/performance) benefits. This shift may happen soon..in the next 6-18 months. Maybe that will push the prices down for DDR3.

Ddr4 is the next great thing, only you don't get a performance boost from it.

Micron expects its 3D NAND will hit the market later this year. It's happening very soon. Many expect a price war between Samsung, Micron, but then everyone loses (at least profits will fall). There's also a possibility both companies will avoid a price war by limiting supply. Consumers...

The work pc I bought last year had only 4GB for around 40. This year 16GB is $125 so $31/ for a 4gb.. So DDR3 memor prices dropped around 21%. this year or next they are pushing DDR4. On GPU they are promoting even faster tech.

I've been out of the loop since last year, having added only 4GB DDR3. Have prices dropped much in the last year? And more importantly, can I use a different brand to top up the memory to 8GB?

Wanted to revive a practically crawling E6750/LGA775. The Samsung 840 Evo makes a world of difference. Instead of 2-3 minute full windows boot up, I'm in in 30-40 seconds. "RAPID" boosts sequential read from 278mb/s to 1078mb/s. I had spent money adding ram (6gb) to this old system so I can...

I moved from FB to G+. I have too many followers. 38,000 https://plus.google.com/u/0/+ChrisLau/posts Just join circles, find people with the same interests. Then delete those circles :)

ALL the latest "refreshes" are worse. 1. Yahoo Sports 2. Yahoo Finance (made my.yahoo.com WORSE) 3. Flickr full of ads. 4. Yahoo Mail 5. ... If you click to provide feedback, the top voted posts are about asking to go back to the old yahoo

Are these Kaveri's better than my discrete 8800GT on an E6750? My game computer is in need of an upgrade. Wonder if this solution would work for *casual* gaming.

Winamp was the program i installed after every fresh windows install. What's a good replacement?

Timing is everything. User fall-off is rising, and so are losses, so what do you do as a company? Make it public. This is better than a movie about wall street.

Trojan. Horse.

It's the standard buying on the dip. Apple started at a low price before the summer, hence the impressive return. I firmly believe Android will keep eating Apple's lunch. Everywhere around me, people choose some variant of Android over iPhone. Apple really made a serious blunder releasing yet...

I've covered OCZ and the only thing holding the company up is the chance it gets taken over. I don't believe this will happen. What hurt it? - ill-conceived rebate program - products competing with itself - poor quality (it was the controller, and users were loud about the problem) Product...

Running 8.1 Preview. Chrome won't load. Firefox won't install. Anyone experiencing the same issue?

YouTube app on Nexus 7 isn't even that good, so how is this lock-out a story? Microsoft has its own issues. I tried w8.1 'blue' and they made windows 8 even worse. The "start" button just brings you to metro! I thought they'd bring back the original start function. You then try to use...

Hit 30 days facebook-free. Won't deactivate since those who do just end up coming back. Facebook calls it an algorithm, but it's more manipulation of "news." When I was there what facebook does is make activity look higher than it is. When you change your profile pic, even back to an old one...

I am so out of the loop. I did not know what trim was up until today. I've had this drive since dec/2012 and it works fine. it's quite fast. Could always upgrade to a better model.

The details are: * ASUS 238QR DVI plugged to integrated DVI port. * Samsung 930 VGA plugged to integrated DVI port. Plug an MP3 to USB which is connected to a USB extension cord (this is extra info..may or may not be cause)...and 20 minutes later...screen displays fuzzy colors and flashes...

I have Asus P8Z68 LE running integrated graphics on i5-2500K. The system is overclocked, and uses an AData 128GB SX900 SSD. Now, When an MP3 is plugged in (extension cord) a USB port, the two monitors connected to it flicker, and the display connection is all noise. One time this happened when...

No longer a fan of Timmie's..their coffee is watered down, their food keeps shrinking (donuts and muffins) and prices keep going up a few cents very few months. McD's coffee is the best. They also redesigned and now ask for your name. They took that idea of customer service from Starbucks!

The fundamental problem with Apple's massive cash position is what it can do to enhance the consumer experience. How can they improve their product? How can they bring back the 30% cash (of total balance) held overseas? How can they bring mfr jobs back to America? Should they? It's cheaper to...

Whenever a company sells everything but the kitchen sink you know there are problems. Sony's corporate structure does not allow it to be nimble. It also ignored consumers, tried to put DRM everywhere and paying the price.

Expecting Win8 sales to drop after this price increase. Hope that most people took advantage of this deal, even though linux costs less, win7 is still a better option (though win8 bootup is fast)...and win8 caters mostly to computers having touch screen.

Loading up on 3d print cartridges as we speak!

Thanks - they don't appear to ship to Canada.

My ASUS asus o play hdp -r1 finally stopped wanting to play Digital Audio OUT + Analog video out. It works on HDMI. So what should I get? An updated ASUS O! Play for $80? A Western Digital Live Player? Please help. System: Old TV projector, Receiver with digital audio/analog audio, no HDMI...

It's a must-have for windows7 users. Instead of 1-2 minute boot time it's 5-15 seconds tops. On win8 the system boots fast even on a regular HDD, so the benefits are not as great. Actively tweak: move your browser cache to the physical hard drive. Run Ccleaner. Keep OS drive lean so you have...
