I received a Inspiron 5570 laptop last Christmas and really liked the Dell Mobile Connect feature. It worked great for me to still be able to quickly respond to texts while continuing to work on my laptop. Over the last few months this feature has started acting up. For a brief while when...

Its hardwired with the CAT 5E cable that I am pretty sure came with the Modem? see response below @eidairaman1 Honestly they brought the modem from their truck but it all appears brand new. Still has the plastic on the front and the cable was still tied as if it just came from the box. I guess...

Trying to learn here: What are you saying is server dependent? I don't know what a CO to the fiber cabinet,or fiber cabinet to the pedastal/terminal, or what a GPON is? I can tell you the entire system from AT&T is new here. The installers / techs just got schooling on FIOS a few months...

Last December I upgraded from Suddenlink Cable 100/10 cable to AT&T 1000/1000 FIOS . This speedtest was done by the installer on my old desktop that died and I have since had some issues getting these numbers. They are pretty much saying my old laptop Acer Aspire 5750Z doesn't have the...

I have just always like to think of it as supporting the underdog. Many moons ago when AMD was king (I said many moons :laugh:) I bought Intel. Now days Intel has had a free ride owning the market. The consumer in general really doesn't want AMD to die even if they don't know it. So that...

Both are as stupid a ideas as stupid gets but hey so has this world gotten. :kookoo: Musk is nothing more than a common hack stealing tax dollars to fund his insanity. Hey if a wealthy guy wants a huge clock if it was his own money his land and its legal who am I to say no. It just makes me...

Look at my system specs. That is whats being reworked. The only stuff that is ruined is the board and cpu. The memory is DDR3. So that is why I was looking to looking at memory cpu and board.

From what I read the memory works it’s just not optimal. Considering the differences in Intel and AMD I can see how making some brand specific to be a better performing product could happen. Probably happened from a performance view to capture more market not to cut out market share. All just...

The ones I was looking at no there was nothing special as far as I know. I looked at the ones you found but in reading the reviews i found this from the GSkill Mfg So I went to looking and found the G.SKILL FORTIS Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) $159.99 Ill keep that in mind if I go with that board. I...

My life story. :ohwell:

I dont have a total budget per say. I try to be $ reasonable I am not well off. I am not looking at high end and I don't want very low end either. Looking for speeds equivalent or close to the AMD RYZEN 5 1500. I went with the X and the minimal board that had OCing provisions (B350) and I was...

That link isnt working for me. I went with the X model just in case I get the bug to do something stupid like OC. :roll:Also why I went with the B350 chipset.

In other words I want to upgrade my old system since the previous board and chip are sort of permanently mated (melted dont ask how :laugh:) I want to update a little without getting crazy with the $. I have been out of gaming, ocing, and building PCs for quite some time. It has been over a year...

This thread :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

Would be nice to see a resurgence. Reality is I highly doubt it. So far in the hole at this point I don't think they can see daylight.
