would hate to see what intel thought they could charge if AMD was still peddling bulldozer!

they have their use cases, i used a Pentium G4400 (7th gen) for £40 to upgrade a machine for someone plodding along on an old core2duo for web browsing, mobo/cpu/ram was £150 if ddr4 had sane pricing it would've been even less and it flys compared to the core2

lets hope the fall of bitcoin helps it, it it still shocks me how much they've gone up in the last few months I bought a Zotac 1070 mini for £349 in just November, now the exact same card is £470, I could now almost sell it 6 months used for what I paid new...

id have to disagree, the Boto2/3 libraries and documentation are better than the GCP implementation, saying that though, both are MUCH better than the terrible documentation surrounding Azure and at least for now the irritating 'Azure Classic/ARM' hybrid dance you have to do there

heres hoping the declining price of etherium/bitcoin keeps pace, otherwise the 11xx or 20xx whichever it is isn't going to be close to reasonable pricing

i did just this (970 to 1070) but I play at 4k and I got it when prices were at least a bit lower (£375), ive since sold my 970 for ~£180 so the upgrade was 200 roughly, most 970's with non-stock coolers pull 160-180 second hand so it depends if that upgrade is worth the 200 to you, at 1080 res...

does anyone actually take wccftech seriously anymore?

P = V x I 12V x 1.5A = 18W so you dont have a chance of running 3 8-10 watt hard drives from it

definately for a boot disk, as for only SSD, depends on your budget and the amount of storage you expect to need and how much the drawbacks of HDD bother you (heat, Noise, Performance) its certainly possible technically if more expensive.

either of the RX480 are better value than a 1060 (3GB VRam), gigabyte are generally a good brand from my experience (my last two cards and my last motherboard are all gigabyte) for the sake of £15 id take that, but of course thats subjective

id pick up the rx480 if thats your budget tbh, slightly faster than a 970 in dx12 titles and most likely to be supported longer

Quoted for Truth

firewalld is what most distros are moving to as a replacement for iptables, only exception is ubuntu which has its own 'ufw' (ubuntu firewall) program. Red Hat/CentOS 7 already made the switch to firewalld

pretty much, better specs, same cost, also any case which fits the pi-1b or pi-2 should also fit the pi-3

you can use something like Clonezilla, but personally id just backup the appdata folders for the Apps you want to keep (browser/email/etc) and copy them to your fresh install, will be much quicker and a nice clean windows install too.

this part doesn't change, finder consistently sucks no matter how long you keep using it

its all a lottery, i had a WD green fail after 3 months a same model replacement has been running now for 5 years

i really hope so

out of curiosity whats the power rating written on the top of the drive? im using a 500GB seagate disk inside the same orico enclosure with a rating of 0.62A and that has no issues id expect a 1TB to be slightly higher as its most likely dual platter, but not enough to overpower two USB ports

damnit, i have to keep telling myself its not much of an upgrade from a 970 and polaris/pascal will arrive this year, even if it is amazingly small and perfect for my SFF rig.....
