SSD : 1 = 240 go, 1 = 1 to and 1 = 2 to

uh so many gigabytes and terabytes are those?
and how is 1 = 2
did you compress 1 ssd so much its now equal to 2? :lloyd_scared:

I read that as 1x 240 GB, 1x 1 TB, and 1x 2 TB.

I think certain regions (France?) refer to GB, TB, etc., as GO, TO, etc. instead

[ChickenBalls]

guess they also replaced the multiplication sign with the equal sign
they must be doing some funky math there

Using market share as directly analogous to "how good the CPU is" isn't correct. AT all. Intel has the same marketing/mind share advantage that nVidia now has. AMD literally started as a "copy cat" company, after all. Intel was full of anti-competitive behaviors in the 1990s and 2000s. They were long established as "the" brand name long before that chart even starts at.

uh did you read the rest of what i said?
market share is only one of the evidence pointing to how bad AMD cpu were around that time
and I was talking about the Bulldozer and Piledriver cpus
Ever wonder why their market share increased after they released Ryzen?

FX bulldozer was way worse then the 4 versions of FX but all I would avoid if you building a pc in 2023. bulldozer, piledriver, zambezi and vishera. PS they are not in any order.

If you read it as "SSDs, one equals (is) 240 GB, one equals (is) 1 TB, one equals (is) 2 TB, it makes sense to me. There's simply different ways you can convey it, and yeah some might be stranger to some people than others, but I was able to make sense of it.

Sure, I read it. The fact that I make a remark to one thing you said doesn't mean I'm objecting the entirety of what you said.

Did you read the rest of my post? I was trying to explain what I thought the post you were responding to seemed to instead be saying, because I think you took it for more than it was saying.

I mean, you responded to someone who said "to be clear, FX chips are not great" with "if they were so good, why did they almost go bankrupt".

As for GPU. Now days the FX8 uses an older 4GB GTX-970 (comparable to a 1050ti) and is about to get both an RX560d 4GB and an HD 7870 2GB installed. Its a media/plex server and I intend to use the added GPU's for transcode use.

Would you recommend a GTX970 to pair with an FX8300 ?
I've been looking for a 1060 but can't find one at a reasonable price (UK), however there were some 970s on fleabay.
I gave my daughter my old FX8300 / GTX750ti rig when I got a new one. I think the GTX750ti has given up the ghost, so I'm looking for a replacement for it. May as well upgrade to a better GPU.

I was playing Days Gone on my old rig with no problems. Granted it was limited to 60fps at 1080p, and Nvidia Experience 'optimised' all the graphics settings to low. However, looking at the Days Gone discussion feed, with much newer, higher spec rigs, reporting crashing the game and even the computer, and major glitches and bugs. I had no glitches, very few bugs and the game crashed once, over several play-throughs amounting to a couple of hundred hours of game play. In older games, Tomb Raider 2013 Reboot for eg, also for general email, web surfing, office type work, etc, it was perfectly good until I replaced it. And I replaced it to be able to play Days Gone at much better graphics settings

I recently started upgrade progress with new Lian Li fans in my Lian Li 011D XL. I still looking for new 850 watt from either Corsair or SeaSonic for a better 12VHPWR cable.

I told you that those have hybrid 12VHPWR but oh well not my money at least I am not wasting.

just resurrected these 2 laptops from my laptops pile...

i remembered why i hate laptops, deep cleans, reapplying thermal paste, ect... is a horrible pain with these old designs, way to many screws, some screws hidden, wires lopping in and out of everything and those tiny fragile header ports for all the ribbon cables and wires..... plus remembering what size screw goes were without taking a billion pictures during tear down.

anywho, all laptops opened and cleaned, reapplied thermals, any missing screws replaced, all laptops with fresh installs, windows updates are current, windows update seems to find drivers quite easy, as does driver booster which i use to find obscure drivers and also keep drivers updated, also use an aio runtime installer, advanced systemcare for some its features and firefox installed (disabling edge and other microsoft bs).

in general the 2 laptops below have all their hardware and their drivers installed and working properly.

side note: my first, last and only laptop i bought for full price brand new (11 years ago), is a Dell Inspiron 15R Special Edition (7520), Core i7-3612QM ( 4c 8t and base clock 2.10 and turbo 3.10), intel hd 4000/amd radeon 7730m 2GB vram, pc3 16GB ram, 120GB msata ssd OS drive and 750GB 72000rpm hdd (upgraded while it was in use)..... sadly it died due to a motherboard short on the 5v rail, so it has to be fixed or i need to find a new/old one.

i have a bunch of other laptops, just gotta rummage through them...

That was actually a typo, its the 4GB gtx-960, but...

So long as its the 4GB version its a fine card. The 4GB versions of the GTX-670 and GTX-960 are both roughly comparable to the 1050ti, with the 670 being anywhere from equal to ~15% slower, and the 960 being anywhere from equal to ~10% slower. They are basicly just power hungry 1050ti's performance wise.

The 970 is another step up and would work great. Both options are fine for 1080p and a huge step up from a 750ti ;)

I agree with you.I used to repair laptops that was in floods.
Those laptops I had 85% repair rate.
I know what you mean about taken them apart.
Did your have upgrade gpu or was it built in?
So for thermal paste did you also replace the thermal pads?

the hp heatsink only covers the cpu, the "gpu" just passively cools lol.... but yes replaced thermals on all and the toshiba covers both cpu and gpu, pad was fine surpisingly.

gpu's on these old things are built-in, the hp is on the board, the toshiba is in the cpu.

yes, they are a pain, though a good amount of the newer "modern" designs arent as bad as these older ones.

i used to get them free or dirt cheap, as people would toss them in a box and buy a new one, because they though they were broken, because of blue screens or overheating, ect...

so i would clean and fix them up and sell them for $100+ a pop, also did that with desktop pc's, i also repaired/fixed/ect.. peoples pc's.

anywho, i got laptops and desktops laying around collecting dust, not including tons of parts, ram, drives, fans, ect...

also i added more to the comment you quoted.

I hope you dont use driver booster to install them. It is ok to use it to find missing drivers but I would recommend grabbing the drivers from elsewhere and if you need help you can add me and I will try to help you. I also have driver booster but not installed atm due I have no use for it.
