    Question Can DDR3 be used with Intel Pentium J4205 ?

    I have a prebuilt Lenovo Ideacentre 310 15-IAP. It has 4 GB of DDR3L RAM and I want to upgrade that. The slot on the mobo supports DDR3, but the CPU itself don't have DDR3 listed in it's spec sheet. Will it work?

    Question How to choose low-end ear buds in a fixed budget?

    Thank you all very much for detailed replies! While I had no real questions to ask, I had a gap in my theory, and it's now more or less filled. What I've learned from your answers here (for possible future readers): The headphones market isn't much different from any other market -- it's just...

    Question How to choose low-end ear buds in a fixed budget?

    The channel will surely help a lot, thank you! But what about your recommendations? Does headphone community has some sort of big metaphorical scene of products that people just "know of"? Is that just it? Say, there's a new pair -- it's good, but people don't know that yet, and then reviewers...

    Question How to choose low-end ear buds in a fixed budget?

    Detachable cables is not what I look for either.. I just got a general feeling that if you buy something with a warranty, it will at least work for that time period. And honestly, 2 years for 30 usd? I'm fine with that but the $2 ones obviously didn't deliver, so I know that the cable can be...

    Question How to choose low-end ear buds in a fixed budget?

    Thanks for attention to my humble thread ^_^ It's nice to get live personal recommendations really, but still... It's not what I'm looking for. I want to know for myself how the choosing process even works. You can't touch them, you can't hear them, you can't squirm 'em to see if they creek and...

    Question How to choose low-end ear buds in a fixed budget?

    WARNING, long post. Now where do I start... The main goal of not buying the thing at a closest bus stop for like, two bucks, is for them to survive in the jeans pocket longer than 2 months and not sound like sandpaper. My last pair was chosen blindly and it was Sennheiser CX300II (sounded...

    Where to buy at least somewhat legit mobile CPUs

    So, it's the way it seems then. How can we at the very least know what we're buying to distinguish fakes?

    Where to buy at least somewhat legit mobile CPUs

    My friends and I have a need to upgrade our 2010s laptops with some new CPUs -- but all we can find are some alixpress or newegg deals for less than $10, and wholesale nonetheless, for CPUs that have long been discontinued. Ours are not soldered, we know which ones we need, and we're ready to...
