That really didn’t occur until after 3D acceleration was established. Those technologies only came about because of Windows and didn’t even work on DOS. The widespread adoption of 3D acceleration is what led to the same adoption for 2D.
Envious not jealous lol
a redditor went ahead and got the size for all the versions in a table.
i'm sure you can find a converter on google if you live on a country that still stuck in the past to use imperial instead of metric.
with ram fuckery, it's "can't wait to upgrade my pc in 2029!".Can't wait to upgrade my PC in202420252026!
Seriously, I need more space inside the case.
I love my old quad-core with 64 GB of throttled DDR4. I get to waste all this RAM on caching browser tabs while a poor child somewhere starves on a 3 GB tablet.
It's their own fault for not chewing the tablet enough
Ram makes programs run faster. that's why you should plug in a 1gb usb stick and use it as a page file like steve ballmer intended, it gives you more ram. Imagine how fast it would be with 65gb of ram
I keep hearing people are picking up intel because of Alder lake and such, since you can choose between ram types, which is useful if you already have a machine with DDR4. You can just rip the sticks out of your old rig and keep using them.Intel to the rescue yet again:
Generally speaking, you need to match it with the correct motherboard, since some LGA 1700 boards use DDR5, others use DDR4. But I saw a news item about this monstrosity three weeks ago:
Yes i saw that from ASRock. The ram speeds are slow, but you can use both. Generally though, as a guy with a DDR4 LGA 1700 system, picking boards are the cheap part. AMD has like a tax on their boards. But Intel, if you just stick with 12th gen, you can literally choose any board, which can be sub 100 bucks. And if you wanted to switch in the future, just buy a DDR5 board for around the same price and swap the core.
Sapphire(1), PowerColor(2), and XFX(3) are exclusive AMD board partners, so I would be looking at them if I was buying (I have red devil 6900xt myself) but any of them would do fine really. otherwise I would follow StaticShocks post about dimensions and power connections if it is an issue.
I actually wonder if Microsoft will ever release a Windows version of zswap. It would be a great, and logical, next step.
I forgot some of these used 12 pins, and yeah: https://videocardz.com/newz/sapphir...y-suffers-first-melted-12v-2x6-connector-case
lol. My first case i used for a build was a old Compaq case i stripped out and gutted. Very sharp, made of stamped metal and shit. Hated that thing, but only paid a few bucks for it.
