    NVIDIA Details GeForce RTX 4090 Founders Edition Cooler & PCB Design, new Power Spike Management

    Nice card, too bad the drivers for 7 pro x64 are missing, not everyone has the money for 10 or knows how to make the OS work like 7, and 12 is out to replace both 10 and 11, OTB... Some 3080Ti's will do for me.

    NVIDIA RTX 4090 "Ada" Scores Over 19000 in Time Spy Extreme, 66% Faster Than RTX 3090 Ti

    Well a 40x0 card sounds nice and all, but is kinda useless without a driver, not everyone has upgraded to win10 or soon to be 11 and now 12, first Microshaft abandons the OS, then Nvidia follows suit, of course soon win10 users will be joining 7, 8, and 8.1, the highest card supported by win7...

    Windows 11 a Flop, Survey Claims Less Than 1% Upgraded, Microsoft Improves Start Menu

    Yeah version 8.12, if what I read is true so far, it sounds like 11 is really 8.11, they just left off the 8 and the period...

    Microsoft is threatening to withhold Windows 11 updates "if your CPU is old"

    Marvin and Daffy have been vaccinated, but then so have I. I'd hope the E5 series Xeons and TPM compatible boards like the Asus RIVBE would be allowed under Win 11, I have two of each of them.

    Microsoft Considers Tweaking Windows 11 TPM Requirement to Include Zen 1 and 7th Gen Core

    Microsoft Announces Windows 11 is Coming as a Free Upgrade Over Windows 10

    E5-1650 v2(2) and E5-1660 v2(1) Xeon cpus here, all on three X79 systems, only 1 of which has a 1.2 TPM 20pin port on the motherboard, the others would need a version on usb or pcie, but so far I've not found those two parts, so unless it's built in, those two seem to stop at 10. N-EVGA X79...

    Commodore 64 Modded To Mine Bitcoin

    The Commodore 64 was released by IBM in 1982? Seriously? The C64 was made by Commodore Business Machines, not by IBM which had no ownership of CBM or of the C64.
