I love how shitty little web sites like this cite the 1st amendment whenever they open mouth & insert boot. Try the STFU method when you're too broke to defend your dumbass points of view
That's nice, no one gives a shit about your inability to install an easy OS on an unimpressive system in a [H] forum.
you gave enough of a shit to post .... it's ok to be emotional ...
It's not an impressive system.

This system would boot up in about 15 seconds with Win7 Pro 64 running on it. Fast, agile. Quick to load any & all programs. Great for streaming...
Well I ran the hide tool & have turned it off thru the setting. Still forces the driver updates for nVidia drivers. It's running an older 353 nVidia driver too that won't let me run a few games. So it's fuken useless to me to have something update to an old driver. I have a brand new 368.39...
Gaming is a hobby, hobbies cost money. Some people do it on the cheap. Some people don't.

No, if you don't have money. I recommend saving it. Til you can afford a real processor. Or get a better job.
I remember LAN partying Unreal for hours in my buddies old house & getting drunk. Wolfenstein, Unreal, BF'42, etc...
That was back when I built a second PC just to take to LAN parties.
Now my LAN party PC is my HTPC
Have to agree, so many games get released & have been out for awhile before I ever hear of them most of the time lately. NMS is a game I heard about at the VGX awards in 2013 & have been waiting for. Seems like forever. I didn't pre order yet, might not. Don't want the pre-order bonus' to affect...
lol oh ... missed that one, but yea.
NMS is what I'm looking forward to. I play SWTOR & WoWSs ... GTA V ... Elite-Dangerous ... any game that will push my graphics card ... I play for the eye candy & game play. I'm sure there are a lot of great games that are too ugly for me to consider.
This whole thread is a waste of time. Bitching & cavetching about a company trying to make money is hilarious at best. I work for Amazon & have prime. But don't always get things thru them even with my crappy 10% discount. I have zero problems getting it from newegg cheaper & with free 3 day...
Saga Fuel episode 32409873458974351345 ... they will never stop pirates. This is like the war on drugs that is a failure, but they keep trying anyways.
Well, I won't be needing it now. I finally was able to get the raid working on her 970A-DS3P v2. So she wants the 8 core FX-8300 I had instead. Had to do some major hunting but I found a driver that works with SSDs on the SB950 south bridge. So now all is well in AMD land again.
FYI, was playing around on one of the 850s & installed Win10 Pro 64 bit.
For sh!tz & gigglez I installed Samsung Magician & tried the firmware update on her Evo 850 250g. Was able to get that one & her Win7 Pro 64 bit installed 850 updated to the new firmware.
Couldn't get it on Win7 Pro 64...
I know this is more than 4 months later, but anyone get this firmware to stick? I have two Evo 850s that download the updated firmware. But stop during installation, says it failed. Just curious if there was ever a fix. This popped up in my google search.
Hey thanks for all the 411, price isn't an issue because she's paying for it. (y)
I like the ASRock A88X Pro3+ and can get it same day from Amazon, but the placement of the PCIE 3.0 slot seems a little low. She likes to use a audigy PCI sound card. So it might be tight in her chassis. Newegg...
Do any of the other ASRock boards have the 4+2 VRM that is a full ATX sized board? Just curious cause I sold the Gigabyte board & wanted to maybe order it today. Was looking on their site & they have a few A88X boards on Amazon & NewEgg.
