Use Windows own.
I have to say (as an owner) that the FX6300 is a complete pile of poo compared to anything Intel, so you’ll probably get a bottleneck.
What motherboard and ram have you got?
Who kills more Americans than the rest put together, including all the world wars?
Other Americans, one of whom just did the deed with guns and ammo he’d flown with!
If that had been a flight from anywhereistan there would be jets taking off as we speak to bomb the crap out of them.
Ronnie Raygun 1986:
My fellow Americans: History is likely to record that 1986 was the year when the world, at long last, came to grips with the plague of terrorism.
This was when the Americans wouldn’t extradite Libyan terrorists to the UK.
Everyone’s been at this terrorism thing for a long time and as long as there are armed idiots with a grievance they always will be.
I don’t believe there is an answer just more precautions we have to take.
But Trump would do well to sort his own house first, that would slash the death rate.
I don’t know why they bothered with RIPA.
It looks like we’ll willing install all sorts of internet connected surveillance devices of our own free will and even pay for them!
Mind you it’s probably the Chinese Govt who’ll be doing the listening.
Firstly I don’t agree with the statement that we are at war with Islam, we are at war with terrorists who have usurped Islam.
When we were fighting the IRA we were not at war with Roman Catholicism.
There are have been armed police at international airports for as long as I can remember.
Ditto openly armed police on the streets of any non UK city.
Yes there is now proper security at most airports, helped by the fact that a lot of it is now technically possible, and it’s long overdue.
Every generation there are the terrorist bogeymen to be dealt with – IRA, Baader Meinhof, Black September, the list goes on to the present day.
Once this lot have been dealt with the next lot are waiting around the corner.
There there’s solo nutters like Anders Behring Breivik.
Just one point about America, there were 372 mass shootings in the US in 2015, killing 475 people and wounding 1,870 and 64 of these were school shootings.
Making a Pathia this evening and co-incidentally there’s one last bottle of Icelandic blond in the beer fridge.
Not too bad at the cooking, but one thing I can’t do is naan.

Yep, that’s the end of that.
40K for a house!
Wouldn’t buy you a plot for a garden shed in the Bristol area.
%age wise prices are rising here faster than London.
You won’t notice a thing even if you dropped the speed down to the one below.
My son is at Plymouth.
I went with him on his first visit. The faculty members worked out in 2 seconds flat that I was in the industry. We spent nearly 2 hours just chatting to everyone.
They have been very supportive and have some excellent contacts and a good track record of getting placements (Dan spent 13 months in Brussels, others have gone to Cisco).
After a visit by Meraki Dan has had 2 phone interviews and this week a proper one in London. Fingers crossed.
He’s currently got his head down doing the final 3 months.
I don’t need to tell you about Plymouth. I quite like the place and Dan seems happy but my daughter hates it and wouldn’t go there if you paid her.
I’ve changed career a few times, mostly because I had nothing to lose.
Having my hobby as a career isn’t an issue as when you make IT your career what you do isn’t remotely like what you do as a hobbyist.
I’ve looked at these cyber security courses with both my middle son (almost finished a Computer Networking degree) and with my daughter who has it as a banker if she can’t do Modern Languages at a Russel Group Uni.
You don’t have to get too precious about what Uni either, in my experience the old polys are the best at this sort of “vocational” qualification any way.
Look for GCHQ accreditation.
My daughter was looking at Computer Forensics at Uni of South Wales (Treforest) and they even have a mock court room to learn how to give evidence correctly as well as a state of the art clean room. They now offer Masters as well.
I’ve not been there but I’ve heard good things about the Uni of Gloucestershire’s courses and of course GCHQ (and BJM) is next door.
Here’s a programmable door lock where you can generate entry codes remotely http://tinyurl.com/j56ewoj
We were actually going to use one of these recently until the customer changed their door to a composite job with a 5 point locking mechanism.
There is no internet connection required, it works like the RSA token you use for Corporate VPN access or some banks use.
When you initially synchronize your phone with it via bluetooth it downloads a UTC stamp to the lock and that is the basis for the algorithm that deals with the codes. The codes can be time limited for places like holiday lets.
There’s a good video that explains it all.
One thing the motherboard can do with two identical memory sticks is increase the bandwidth available – hence the name dual channel.
That’s why the advice was to have two identical sticks.
However in practice this increase just isn’t noticeable. Back in the day when Slippy was doing encoding benchmark comparisons it didn’t even make 1 fps increase.
In your case I don’t think 12GB of ram will be any better than 8GB, so I’d just buy another 4GB stick, put it in the free slot and not worry about it.
It’ll work but not in dual channel.
Not that I think you’ll notice the difference.
I look forward to hacking it and turning it off and on at random.
Seriously there’s a couple of good articles on IoT in this months PC Pro.
It’s in the Real World section so the musings of a techie rather than a “buyers guide”.
There is some real work going into standards by the big boys, nit that the Taiwanese currently selling unsecure crap will ever stick to them, it’s more for the likes of Hive etc.
That would allow a proper home (or office or Corporate) gateway and not a load of unconnected cloud controllers.
Well, well, well. I eat my hat.
I do wish Intel would stop dicking with their product definitions.
At least they had the grace to put a K after unlocked Pentium they released.
They usually go the other way around with the S-O-C systems that were Atoms now being called Celerons.
Not sure about £64 though, they are £93 on E-Buyer and Scan but that’s still a £30 saving.
Bart, you’re falling into the same old traps.
Unless you want multiple 16 lane graphics card slots or are buying a K processor to overclock then you do not need anything above entry level these days.
Even the meanest H110 boards have 4 x SATA 6 and USB 3. DDR4 isn’t much of an improvement over DDR3, in fact in some circumstances it’s worse.
The G4620 is a Pentium, so dual core and no hyper threading. The i3 is a dual core with hyper threading so it can deal with 4 threads at once. So the G is not an update of an i3 it’s the model down. That’s why it’s cheaper.
I have found that a reset is worth doing if you’ve come from 8 to 10. Note that is a reset not a reinstall. You do not need to boot from a USB etc.
However with my T420 Lenovo decided not to support W10 Anniversary, so things like the fingerprint reader stopped working that had gone through updates just fine.
That sorted itself when I ran a chipset update from Intel. W10 found all the “missing” hardware and Windows Hello does the login with your fingerprint job.
The only things not working are the F key alternatives like F4 for sleep. Brightness and volume up and down are OK though so it’s no biggie.
In your case Asus have W10 support for your motherboard, so if you want things like AI Suite back you can.
Don’t bother getting chipset drivers from Asus, they are way out of date. Just go to Intel and get their automatic updater.
Windows will sort out the Asus specific ATK driver within a rebooot or two, so don’t panic if you see some unknown hardware in Device Manager.
Not that I know of. It was AMD that had unlockable cores from quality checking failures.
Recently Intel did an FSB unlocked “K” Pentium Haswell, the G3258. I suspect you were thinking of that.
Whilst they seemed to offer good value, of course you needed the rest of the hardware to be top spec to get the best out of it so it wasn’t cheap.
More of a marketing excercise than anything like the old AMDs.
