    One plus 5 is good in the specs dept and half the cost. 8gb of RAM and almost stock Android.

    That would be hella dumb seeing as how their other 6 core on the HEDT line is less then that. Not to mention Ryzen.

    Laptop Computers

    Honestly, if you require horsepower for those apps, you may be better getting a true quad core machine with a dedicated GPU. These ultra mobile processors are all dual core and hyperthreaded. The main difference is L3 cache amounts and clock speed. Any rendering or cpu intensive tasks are gonna...

    I traded in an old iPhone 5 I had laying around. Got $425 right off the top and used Samsung Financing to split the rest into payments. I’ll have it payed off in like 3 months though. But 0% for 24 months and $425 off the top (not lame bill credits). That’s the best deal. I qualified because I...

    Because I got $425 for my trade in through Samsung directly. The unlocked model was $930-425=$505 plus the preorder freebies. How is that not a good deal? Same as the best buy one at the very least.

    I ordered through Samsung. I qualified for their Note 7 owner discount. Got $425 for an old iPhone 5 I had laying around plus the sad card/wireless charger for $525 buck. Not too bad.

    SLI isn’t even worth it anymore. Nvidia put the onus on game developers to implement SLI support in their games instead of at a driver level. Now it’s a shit show and we all know how lazy the devs are...

    I use the paid version of CCleaner. It’s worth every penny just for the registry cleaning. That keeps windows so snappy.

    Routers & Other Networking Stuff

    Depends on how the VPN is setup. Just learning JunOS but with Cisco ASA/VPNs, they can be set up for split tunneling (meaning only traffic that needs to be encrypted goes thru the tunnel). JunOS has an equivalent. But yes the NAT rules do dictate where that traffic will go. Have you looked at...

    Routers & Other Networking Stuff

    Most likely, yes they are. A lot of ISPs deprioritize all traffic they can’t identify with their QoS.

    John Smedley hired by Amazon to produce MMOs

    Not butthurt in the slightest. I like VG just fine. Had tons of fun in it. You can like it and admit it’s flaws without making shit up. That’s all. No need to lie about it’s performance issues. That doesn’t invalidate the game or concepts therein. It’s like some of you nerds can’t admit you...

    It’s a piece of shit anyways and very poorly supported by both MS and HP. Microsoft pulled the plug on Windows Mobile recently. Dead end platform.

    John Smedley hired by Amazon to produce MMOs

    Bullshit. Had one. Paid a pretty penny. Chunking was still there. Even tried a RAM disk. You guys are denying reality if you think you ran VG with top graphics and no chunking. That mythical rig didn’t exist. Stop it.

    Stop the BS. You experienced chunking like everyone else. Your new computer didn’t make you immune to engine limitations. Keep it real.

    Desktop Computers

    Load times have to be faster as the drive is faster by a pretty significant amount. Boot times may be negligible, but load times are not. It doesn’t make gaming better unless you play a game that loads a lot (EQ zoning etc). CPU and GPU you will have far more impact there. But outside of that...

    You’re kidding, right? Most sata 3 ssds max out about ~550mbps read/500mbps write. A regular NVME drive (just average not even the best) is getting 1500-1800mbps read with 1000-1200 writes. I’d say that is pretty significant. You can definitely tell the difference in responsiveness of system...

    It's pretty easy to get going to be honest. Just realize there is a lot of content between you and the top. Take your time and enjoy the story. I would do some research on the class you want to play though. Eventually you can get them all, but the MSQ gives a ton of xp to the one you choose to...
