What the hell is this 'guide'??? Seriously... this is total crap.

I haven't looked at the PC hardware market since 2006 so reading something to get me up to speed would've been perfect. Being given example builds with NO explanation whatsoever is just crap. Then obviously you get people disagreeing with that build....

 

Before blasting off, maybe you'd like to ask what you'd like an explanation of?

No one has that kind of time. To explain everything to everyone. There are variety of people out there with different understanding level and needs. You can't expect anyone to satisfy everyone.

 

That said, suggestions are always welcome as the new update is inbound

If anyone has an AMD A10-4600M (and 7660G), would my laptop benefit if I upgraded from 6GB RAM (4x2) to 8GB RAM (4x4)? I'm reading that AMD's APU's perform betting with matching dual-channel memory.

It will benefit more if you go 8gb 1600 memory (AMD relies a lot on memory)

It's just not a guide... just a collection of builds. There is nothing to be learnt here. How about an explanation of the build?

A guide is meant to give an individual the skills needed to source their own parts to create their own build, if even the guide is somewhat elementary and lacking in certain aspects. The reader should feel more knowledgeable in the guide's subject area and thus more capable of following out the tasks described 

 

Are we ######ing clear what a guide is?

    • I restored the default settings to Secure Boot. Big mistake

      By dorf · Posted

      I tried to get the latest secureboot certificate for my old Dell 7010 Optiplex machine.   I restored the default settings to Secure Boot. Big mistake.  Now when secure boot is on. The machine doesn't boot and complains about no booting devises.  The computer's secure boot can't find where to boot and the information apparently has to be entered manually.  Secureboot's settings are now years old and it can't find a new configuration.  What could be done here? There are plenty of files to choose from in the secureboot menu, but I don't know what to put there for each of the four Windows 11 upgraded from 10..... originally who knows what (used machine) without secureboot it booting normally

      They need to follow the standard for AAA game but they will go at lowest level for triple a game because will sell more, earn kudos and the milk it for years anyway. look how much they milked gta 5 and how they milked the original 3 - San Andreas and vice city. it is probably going to be a fun game but then they allowed someone to remake classics that somehow were more broken and worse then original i hope they don’t ###### up this one!!!
