Sorry I posted pics in your thread @StormCrow but I didn't want to make another thread just to post a couple pics. I would kill for an autographed guitar from my favorite band. You lucky hooker you. lol

Pornhub best site on the web for "Movies" lol

Will do. It's been up in the attic for the last 30? years. Could be an Italian built Eko 500/3V. Very similar switches. It's a funky looking thing eh? It's missing a few parts and is beat up pretty bad from my little brother messing with it when he was younger.

Would be nice to find a Good coffee bean that isn't burnt or has green or rotten beans in it. Green or rotten beans is what makes coffee taste like ass. All it takes is a couple of bad beans to make the whole lot bitter as hell. Folgers and Maxwell house used to be decent coffee. Now it both of them taste like rotten ass.

I have an old electric Guitar that was given to my Dad by 1 of the Oak Ridge Boys back in the 1960s when they were touring churches and singing Gospel music. Not sure what brand it is or what it's worth. It's a funky looking thing with slide switches instead of knobs. I'll have to dig it out and take a couple pics of it. It's in pretty darn rough condition but it might be worth something.

Dumb and Dumber lol

@Janey If you have access to a computer, Download that and select create installation media. You can either burn it to DVD or use a 8gb or larger thumb drive. Thumb drive is the easiest. It takes me about 15 minutes to download and create a bootable USB drive. Pretty simple to do if you follow the instructions. You can put Windows 10 on any computer as long as you have a Windows 7, windows 8, windows 8.1 or windows 10 product key. It will activate automatically as soon as it connects to the internet the 1st time. If it doesn't automatically activate there are ways around that as well. I won't go into the specifics here. Lets just say that they have questionable legality. lol

Used to buy 8 o'clock coffee beans by the pound down at Giant Eagle years ago. They had there own roaster and grinder. It was about the best tasting coffee we could get at the time.

I got enough Midget Porn and hand lotion to keep me busy for months.

lol I'm not complaining. It was free money that I wasn't expecting to get. Would of been awesome as hell though if they did give us $300 per CPU. $600 is a good start on a new build.

Didn't you put a GTX 1050 ? in your old computer last year ? @Janey? You can use that in another computer if it still works. By the sound of it the Hard Drive in your old computer took a crap.

Move in with me and you can use my spare PC. ? lol $500? Can't get much for that anymore. Maybe a 1/2 decent USED High end Dell? The Dell XPS is a decent computer. Some XPSs are better than there Alienware cousins. Can't overclock the CPU in a XPS but you can upgrade everything but the proprietary motherboard. I loved my old XPS 420. It had a Bluray burner and built in Wifi and Bluetooth and all sorts of cool shit. But it was old and hard to find 2gb sticks of DDR2 memory that would work in it. Worked fine with 4gb but it was kinda slow. This is a little beat up on the outside but it has a 3.9ghz i7 4770 (which is a decent 4 core 8 thread CPU) and 16gb of memory and a 1tb hdd and dedicated VisionTek Radeon HD 5450 2 GB graphics card. You can always throw a better video card in it but it will play COD4 just fine with that card in it. 1st thing I would do is, do a fresh install of windows 10 on it to get rid of all the Dell software that they come with.Or if you want to keep the Dell crap you can go on there web site and Download the recovery software and burn it to disk or put it on a USB thumb drive. It's a damn good PC For the money. $239.95 https://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-XPS-8700-i7-4770-3-40GHz-16GB-1TB-Windows-10-Desktop-Computer-AB625/264715555175?hash=item3da246d167:g:Bb0AAOSwjqxeo0Nj The Dell XPS power supplys are OK but I would upgrade it to at-least a 500w unit. They have something like a 380w power supply in them which isn't enough if you put a bigger video card in it. For the price I'm almost thinking about borrowing some money and buying it for myself lol. That CPU is almost twice as fast as mine is in most gaming benchmarks. If it doesn't work as advertised Ebay will pay to have it shipped back and give you a full refund, no questions asked.

Ryzen chips and x570 motherboards use DDR4 memory as well. So you would have to pretty much start from scratch. I'm going to have to do the same when it comes time to upgrade.

I sorta understand why they did this, but they should of went with a slightly larger die size instead of trying to stuff 8 cores and 8 threads on a 32nm die just to out do Intel in core count. It bit them rite in the ass.

For the lols. AMDs CMT (Clustered Multithreading) more like cluster fucked multithreading in the AMD Piledriver chips are quite different from any other chip. The Piledriver CPUs do indeed have 8 integer threads but only 4 usable FPU threads since they are clustered and share many resources such as L1 and L2 Cache. Which means a Piledriver has 1 usable thread per cluster on a 4 core chip and will show up as 8 logical processors in windows. lol SMT (Simultaneous Multithreading) is as you said a whole different ball game. The newer AMD chips use conventional SMT, but the Piledriver chips are unique and use CMT.

Logical cores for these chips are a little different. That's why there was so much confusion and also why this went to court. Logical cores are the number of Physical cores plus the number of threads times the hyperthread cores. Since these chips do not have any sort of "hyperthreading" Windows just adds the # of cores + the number of threads. 4 + 4 = 8. That is why it shows a total of 8 cores in when I benchmark in Cinebench and in Windows Resource Monitor.

@Ricko lmao

Ban that fucker lol

LMAO that's hilarious.

I got check for $60.84 for the 2 "8 core" CPUs that I have 2 days ago. Just cashed it this morning. Sucks that so many people filed for it. AMD had to pay out over 15 million smackers + court fees and we only got $30 per CPU by the time they divided up what was left after the lawyers and the plaintiff got there share. We were supposed to get like $300 per CPU. The greedy bastards. 8 core 8 thread my ass. Oh the last small update from Windows update did this. lol That's more like it eh? It now shows 4 cores with 4 threads. Or 8 Logical Processors.

My Fat furry bastard would destroy that. She's a 13lb Manx with the cutest little stubby fuzzball of a tail lol

Sweet guns. @HotRod55 I want a Colt single action army in 45LC really bad as a companion to my old Marlin 45LC leaver gun but damn are they expensive. You can buy 2 leaver guns for the price of a decent Colt single action army in 45LC. And here I always thought @HotRod55 was a ?? Hi-Point type of fella. But your OK in my book. lol

See why he needs wireless @BUDMAN ? It's bad enough when he trips over his own dick lol
