AMD lags so much behind that this 21% will be barely enough to catch up. An overclock yields better results anyway.

It's ok, just remember that you will need to sell that crap. But, I was not planning on buying anyway.

Ouch. What can I say? You mess with the wrong people, you get what's coming to you.

Gioogle apps are junk overrated by the geeks who created it in order to get people use it - so Google can mine your data and the US government knows exactly what you're doing. The father you stay away from Google apps, the better off you are.

I wonder when Apple realizes that their crap won't fly everywhere.

I usually upgrade hardware every 2-5 years - based on the demands on the software. Since most software runs fine on the hardware I have, I am not planning an upgrade any soon. The most demanding software are games, but now that they come via Steam, Origin or <younameit crappy online distribution> I am not buying any of those anymore. The only thing I need is bigger HDDs - say, 8 of those 4GB drives, but I ain't paying more than a 100$ for them - so I wait year or two.
Granny could use a new PC, but I'm sure as hell that she ain't getting it until the prices go down. |
