The chances of it being spelled correctly is very low.

The filter was totally stupid. Simon (Brew) used to think it was hilarious.

Arsenal supporters had a hard time and if they came from Scunthorpe, forget it.

Only kidding with you Bart.

No PSUs haven’t changed at all unless you own a Dell. They have gone back to doing their own thing.

Yes the i3 is a great CPU, it’s what I use in my main PC – with a GT750Ti, 8GB ram and a 240GB SSD (sound familiar?). It boots in 15 seconds.

But for what you listed a Pentium would do just as well as there’s not going to be a lot of multi threaded action going on and it was the sameish Ghz for single threads.

The 6 core AMD PC has been relegated to the workshop. “Cores” 5 and 6 were usually parked every time I looked at Task Manager. Surprisingly little makes use of even 4 cores.  Despite a lack of innovation Intel CPUs are still scorchers in straight line speed and it’s that that still counts for “every day” workloads.

So i3 if you have the dosh, but if you haven’t I don’t think you’ll be missing out much with a Pentium.

The only interesting thing you’ll see in the Mods Forum is from years ago.

Me, the Old Phart, BJM and Jason arguing with Cap’n Cad about being anal over the rules.

It was even worse when his sidekick Akkers was still active.

Here’s a classic: David Johnson (writer) Topic: Language filter. Could ‘bugger’ be added to the language filter please? There have been a few threads started over the last few days with that in the title and I don’t think we want language like that on a family forum…

The fun we had getting around the filter.

Just noticed that was 2004!

Yes, no panic.

We need a secret squirrel forum to call them all names behind their backs though  :whistle:

I gave you a £200 shopping list on MM!

You never did listen to me  :yahoo:

[Dave Rice]

I’ll be happy to carry on if you want me too.

Granny now buys them a Steam voucher.

Their mates gift each other things via the Steam store.

Everyone seems happy and the girlfriend is still there to buy the aftershave you’ll never buy yourself.

I really noticed the difference between a new A8 3.5Ghz and a Haswell i3 4170

One client had their 16 camera analogue CCTV upgraded to a decent digital recorder and needed to access it remotely.

That needs PC software and they had an old Sandybridge Celeron hanging around with 4GB ram.

Dropped a £75 second hand i5-2400 in there, more than good enough. No need for a new PC.

[Dave Rice]

It’ll be a proprietary connection.

You won’t get it to work outside of the correct chassis.
