So I don't like corporate or any handouts, but that's not what chips is/was about it was about the idea that a decent number of new Fabs needed built, and instead of building them somewhere else the US was willing to invest part of the difference in cost to build them in the US and use some tax...

Many are some aren't. With the bundles especially the ones that are offering bigger discounts you're looking at something that is not moving well in inventory that is being paired with a desirable and compatible part. So you'll see something kind of odd like a high end CPU (R9 or I9 cpu) being...

I'm not saying that you guys in both places don't deserve to get good/interesting deals. That said this in a retail store here that contacted AMD's semi-custom department and basically said "hey if your binning of your x3d chips gets to 10,000 units (might not even be that high) that will...

Amazed We are getting this article now. These kits popped up fairly cheap towards the start of the hardware crunch at the beginning of the pandemic. Thought about grabbing one but my current situation doesn't make it as good of a choice as the crap laptop I ended up doing instead. There was...

I'm considering upgrading from a XFX radeon R6670 to a r9 270x is it worth the upgrade hassle?... The new one is 2gig ddr5 old one is 2gig ddr3.

The ability of the NSA to crack something's security is a little bit different than the ability of even an advanced and organized criminal ring. Publicizing that it can be done and maybe laying out a vague over view of how its done on the part of the NSA is slightly irresponsible on the part of...

Honestly I strongly disagree about the future loss of value about a third of the value is lost once it becomes used. Another third is lost over the first 18 months of age. After that the remaining third tends to be steady and increase with inflation and rarity of the parts.

Almost always seperate, via caigslist and ebay. My real question is thats a current generation near top line system why would you sell its a guaranteed loss of money.

The real question here is can you build a nice desk into it, complete with surround sound a complete set of feed back controls with flight yokes, and dual joysticks in separate on demand drawers, and a really comfortable gaming seating situation with immerse motion and sound. Then you set up a...
