General computer talk/advice

ive heard of boards that support ddr3 and ddr4. its some wacky ddr3 tho. ddr3L? i know thats a dual voltage version of ddr3 but i fail to see the point. ddr3 works just fine for me right now.

 

nah, DDR3L is DDR3 module based, its just low voltage DDR3, common in laptops.

 

Skylake supports DDR3L, which operates at a voltage of 1.35V as opposed to DDR3 at 1.5V+.

Also, AMD is doing a thing

this kids is why you dont use monitors used in doctors offices for countless hours. i got em free tho, so im not complaining(its a pair of 24 inch dells)

 

laptops. lol.

sick burn in.

ill have to catch the write up. AMD always has some grand scheme in the works i feel like.

 

i dont think its burn in, more like ghosting, as it can dissapear and be replaced. unless burn in can do that too?

 

I have a gigabyte ultra durable 2 p35 ds4 from 2006 with a e6600 dual core cpu 4gb ram and a 750ti gpu

 

It's DDR2 only. You'll need DDR4 RAM for Skylake.

 

Burn in is a legacy term I still use for that sort of damage to a display from having static images on it from the days of the plasma tv.

 

im slowly gathering a hoard of thinkpads. couldnt find 1, but its a duplicate of another one shown.

x201 tablet, a t60, a series, something, a something and a w510.

 

I'm going to be buying an H110 mobo (probably that $50 Gigabyte one), 8GB DDR4 RAM, and a Core i3-6100 very soon. I'm excited!

 

My child, you are worthy of the title. "ThinkPad whore galore."

 

i found more


dont get me started on how many computers i have...

 

Got a 4:3 T60/T61? I'm still looking for a decent one..

 

im not selling, but yea i think i do, with this keyboard. Its a tad beatup tho, and a couple keys are missing(back button, and left arrow)

 

Nice.



No real info about Polaris. Just a very short demo of the new Hitman game running at 1440p/60. Some benchmarks would've been nice.

Also, possible Zen leak. There will be an FX-8800P. Most likely an 8-core, no idea what the P stands for but it's probably a low-power CPU since it's used in that VR headset thing.

 

Dang that keyboard is cool. No chance of selling it?

 

no chance. i prefer to keep my dual core computers, as i can actually use them daily.

 

I'm actually looking forward to Zen. Maybe AMD will bring some competition back against Intel. If not, AMD might end up out of the CPU market for good...

 

Its probably not going to be too hard to bring back some competition, seeing as Intel has decided to move away from high end CPU development for the time being and work on mobile and power efficient stuff. It wont happen overnight though for sure, replacing a motherboard and CPU isn't something most people do once every year or two like a GPU.

I don't think AMD will ever really be out of the CPU market though since its easy to forgot they have a decent range of mobile and lower end APU's and CPU's still, its just the higher end PC platform that they neglected for a good few years and will have to try to win back. I'm quite excited to see what Zen has to offer but I'm not really holding massive hopes.
