    Free Microsoft with ads?

    What if the paid version of Windows had no ads but a version without using a serial key would have ads?

    Two years after launch Windows 11 adoption is still waaaay behind Windows 10

    I'm still waiting for Win12 for the desktop UI but I don't want to create an account and would rather avoid the data snooping.

    Would you buy a vid card for F model CPU?

    Now that I saw an RX 6600 on sale for $270 Canadian I think I know what the real problem might be. It's that they seem to refuse to sell the RX 6400 and GTX 1630 for $150 Canadian or less. My reasoning was, maybe I could build a cheap machine with an F processor and cheap 3D card then upgrade...

    Would you buy a vid card for F model CPU?

    I'm just wondering how or why people buy F model CPUs. I mean there's the Ryzen 5 4500 CPU in Canada selling for $110 Canadian but if you look at the Radeon RX 6400 and GeForce GTX 1630 video cards are both above $200 Canadian. So, what would you go for for a lower cost solution?

    How long should a platform last?

    I think it should be 9 months so they can work out the bugs. The last time I bought one of my motherboards I had to do a BIOS flash so I could view the video through some video ports.

    Any glitches I need to know of?

    A relative finally delivered the computer to my mother. So I don't need to buy another one after all. (That relative temporarily lost it when she moved.) Anyway, it has an Intel i5-10400 CPU, WD blue 500GB SS, 16GB Kingston Fury RAM and Corsair CX 450 PSU. It was confirmed by the fact that my...

    GPU prices — is the worst behind us ?

    For what it's worth, they quietly released the 3050 6GB.

    Any glitches I need to know of?

    OK I started a thread about a CPU. I prefer if people remained on-topic and not engage in ridicule.

    Any glitches I need to know of?

    Well, that's your solution. You mean like when manufacturers make you pay more for memory and storage. Or, solder the SSD directly to the motherboard, or only have one single BIOS version for the motherboard, give you an inferior power supply etc. Whatever, we're not seeing eye to eye, doesn't...

    Any glitches I need to know of?

    You can call it overthinking. I've had experiences where I got some surprises. Years ago, Seasonic was known as a good brand but then I read some of their PSUs didn't play well with some Nvidia video cards. I bought a Thermaltake Versa H21 case that didn't even have a spot anywhere in the...

    Any glitches I need to know of?

    Looks like things are getting even more complicated, some upcoming CPUs... Ryzen 5 5500GT, Ryzen 5 5600GT, Ryzen 7 5700X3D, and Ryzen 5 8600G.

    Any glitches I need to know of?

    OK, I'm more confused than ever because now they say the i5-14500 is coming soon but then Arrow Lake could launch in 2024 and maybe even Lunar Lake? Whoa, the only thing is, I don't know if I can get motherboards with those CPUs and HDMI, DVI and D-sub connectors on the rear panel. w00t

    Any glitches I need to know of?

    Concerning Spectre and Downfall etc, between the Ryzen 5600G, Ryzen 7600, i5-12400 and i5-13400, which are more secure?
