    Question RX 5600 OEM PCI-express-scaling

    Totally hypothetical question here... Does anyone have any idea what the PCIe scaling would be for that card? Since it's a PCIe 4.0 x16 card and not requiring all the bandwidth provided by 4.0, I was wondering how far backward it could go before saturating the interface. 3.0? 2.0? 1.0?

    Question Is this vintage CPU 32 or 64 bit?

    Thank you. I felt too, that it was the oddball 530J, and that it was 32 bit. That confirms it for me. Wow, 90nm! How far they've come since then. And thanks for confirming the board will work with it.

    Question Is this vintage CPU 32 or 64 bit?

    Thank you, but I'm not sure your link is the one I have. On my CPU's heat shield it references a 1M cache (if I'm interpreting that nomenclature correctly) Your link refers to a 512MB cache. But I tend to agree with you about it being 32 bit.

    Question Is this vintage CPU 32 or 64 bit?

    As I posted in an earlier thread, I put together a retro build. I've come across another ancient CPU that is marked just Pentium 4. It's 3Ghz with a 1M cache. But there were several Pentium 4s back then, weren't there? Is this the correct one? Link If so, it is 32 bit. My present CPU...

    [SOLVED] Quake 4 installation question

    Thank you for the verification. And thanks for the Insight provided in your link. But I don't have a license for the 32 bit version of windows, unless the license is for both. Is that possible? Too far back to remember how that worked.

    I put together a retro pc build from the early 2000's, and am trying to assemble a small collection of the games that I played back then. I'm using xp pro 64 bit, so I won't be connecting to the internet. I would like to buy a used copy of Quake 4 to add to my collection, but before I do I...

    Question Question about Newegg Open Box Motherboards

    I'm not finding a suitable way to contact Newegg for this question, so I thought I'd try my question here. I know that buying open box does not guarantee the board will come with all its accessories, but is an IO shield considered an accessory? Have any of you had experience with buying open...

    Question Asus prime q370M-C Motherboard and Resizable BAR?

    After digging around in BIOS, I've come to the conclusion that this board does not offer Resizable BAR. Can someone verify this please? I presume it takes a later gen board, or possibly this was not something implemented on business-oriented Asus boards. i7-9700 Asus Prime Q370M-CMotherboard...

    Question Did CCleaner Free eliminate Registry Cleaner?

    I just updated Pirifiorm's excellent "CCleaner" to version 6.24, and I noticed there is no Registry Cleaner portion any more. Does anyone know if they eliminated that in the free version, or if this is some kind of glitch they may fix in the future? I've been using this program on my machines...
