My phone died a horribly death of drowning, so I bought a Moto G3 (2015) in green, as they had one on discount. The normal price here in Denmark is 190 to 205 US Dollars. I got mine at 140. Green was the only color left. :-( Unlocked and without user subscription. I can simply not live without a …

It's a longshot and to me it looks like one of hundreds, but does anyone recognise this particular i/o layout, and can make a guess at what type of board is in there. It's a woman selling it "practically brand new" (doubtface) but there's nothing to get a clue from whether it's anything useable …

I denied the permission and it still downloaded successfully. But that makes it even more shady, because… what is it using the permission for if not for storing the file? It's probably one of those "the download will go faster or your daily download quota will be higher if you allow us to install …

Dropped a whole lot at NewEgg yesterday: Ryzen 9 5950X 64 GB of Memory RoG Strix B550-F with Wifi-6 Plus I need to pickup a new cooler from Amazon, since my Hyper 212-Evo won't mount on a AM4 socket without an adapter. I know the 5950x is a little overkill, but my upgrade cycles are 6 years -- it's …

I don't know if it's been done, but I just replaced my i5-4460 with an i7-4790K (fastest proc that'll fit in my board). i7-4790K at stock speed (4.0 GHz boosting to 4.4), Maximus VII Gene, 16 GB DDR3-1866 8.594s (I don't think I ever posted the speed from the 4460, oh well. Also, I'm using the stock …

I understand what your saying and appreciate your response, but I have found with multiple systems that I have checked, most often the HT increases the times by 50 percent, but 2 real threads most often increases by 100. With the comparison with the 3.06 GHz Northwood was like I described,and the …

I have a question about Multicore SuperPi. I ran it on a P4 Northwood 3.06 Ghz cpu and set it to 32 with two threads for the hyperthreading . It finished at 72 seconds. Then ran it with one thread and got 111 seconds. This seems normal to me., but then I wanted to compare my P4 Prescot 3.2 Ghz. …

Doesn't Fallout 3 have big problems with Windows 7? Or did they finally fix those? As far as I'm aware there have not been any significant patches released for Fallout 3 in many years, since 1.7 came out (according to the Fallout Wikia, the last patch (1.7) was released July 27, 2009). So "they" ( …

I have a quad (yes, that's four) PPro 200 system. It's a HP Netserver LX Pro, and it's the size of a mini-fridge. Three power supplies and 12 hot swap SCSI bays. I have a few hard drives for it, but haven't turned it on in about 7 years. It's an EISA and needs a special power cord, plus it just made …

I enjoy seeing some vastly different hardware performing the same, and I also happen to find one of my Winchester OC tests back in 2005, Hey, I've got a Socket 754 3000+ of some variety in my closet. That was, oh, three CPU's ago.

Just for some spice, here's my Dell Venue 11 Pro Tablet, with a Bay Trail Atom Z3770 and 2GB DDR3. I'd say 37 seconds is not bad for 4 watts. superpi.png My Retro machine is a Slot 1 PIII 500 on a 440BX running Windows 98SE. I don't have a mouse for it, so it ran the test with my main machine …

The trouble here is that you're getting in to "No true Scotsman" territory. One could argue that PCem only simulates a PC, because it "only" executes the machine code on a software core, and doesn't a actually implement the individual transistor gates that make up a CPU. ...or that a program that …

Yes, I have verified that it is loading the right config file. The first two lines of the config file (non-comment are): ne2000=true realnic=3 DosBox lists the 3 nics (one for VirtualBox, one for VirtualPC, and the actual NIC)
