Long story short, I got into a pedestrian (I was that peddy!) accident and broke my elbow last Nov 2023. Had to endure through hell of surgery and therapy and all. After I “graduated” therapy (I’m perfectly fine right now! No worries! Hehe)  last January … Decided to get my parents involved in the lawsuit. Turned out I won. So bing bang boom, here I am with the tech upgrades. Oh and don’t worry abt the hospital bills - I got that paid off in full! Yay!  😁

There are various times I would have made lawsuits against the NHS R21 but since it's just like a charity I'm simply relying on the food and cider and water (mineral y'know) to improve given the circumstances :) SgrdAA

I am running 32GB (started with ~0.004GB) CL14 DDR4 Gskill OEM on a Ryzen 5700x on a X470 (the mobo is ok, well planned slots...). I mean, I do have a 3070, but I don't game and it just does 2-4 outputs really. It's all change here :) 64GB seems my sweet spot, even with a PRIMOCACHE TRIAL

Especially of course at 1T. XMS Profile 2. It's really fast on nano ns scale for an LCD driven display (which I encourage for your Eyes).

 

It's great to post on Neowin again. The humour here is normal.

My next Gaming Laptop is having a Minimum 16GB, but ideally 32GB like my Desktop machine, so i can finally split the games evenly between the 2 systems lol.       Right now most of the games have to run on Desktop as 8GB of Ram in Current hard to open HP Omen Gaming Laptop isn't enough

Like a previous poster said, 128GB of RAM, seems overkill, unless you are editing video, but did i notice a  GEFORCE RTX 2000 series as the graphics card, a bit of an odd pair for CPU and graphics card.

128GB isn't overkill....... in AI........when it's on the GPU...... 🤣

I'm most interested in the router issue. Any reason to go with TP-Link versus Netgear or ASUS? I've been considering the Netgear BE9300 but I'm not planning on going ahead until the Labor Day sales. I'm hoping for a published comparison of various WiFi 7 routers by then. Please do let us know of how the TP-Link router performs at WiFi 7.

TP-Link makes great value routers, and they just last. I retired my TP-Link Archer C7 router a couple years ago, and that lasted 8 years. I could've kept using it had it not been for moving to a home and needed a greater coverage area. 

Anyways, 128 GB RAM is way more than enough for 99.9% of consumers. I just started using 32 GB of RAM last year, and even that's a bit overkill for me.

You were saying? LOL

I'm using a large portion of my 32GB. :)

And that is linux, Windows would at least eat another 8gb.

That you really make use of your Ram, in tasks used by you and is not the OS taking it for internal processes.

Glad you're OK. So you are REALLY proud of the new laptop you were able to buy. Good for you. I hope it serves you well.

What else have you done with your newfound wealth?

    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By Jaybonaut · Posted

      Looks like the 7.1 is fake effects, can it at least do real 5.1? It says 'virtual 7.1' in all descriptions.

      You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.

      Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?

      Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?
