gonna play some dino nugget roulette. some were recalled a couple of times recently.. dunno if the bags in the freezer are 'ok' or not. don't care, but i think they predate the recalls.
silicon power has had very good prices at azn for 8gb ddr3 dimms for awhile now. cheaper than what i've found anywhere else, even for used stuff or ebay when i've checked there. have several desktops here maxed-out on ram (16 or 32gb) from those.
you see terms like 'gridiron' for football, 'grapplers' for wrestlers, and 'harriers' for (cross country) runners frequently (or overused) in small town newspapers covering local high schools.
two long-time gp retired recently here. all i hear from anyone is the wait times for seeing the 'new docs'. 6-9 months out. it's almost as bad as next door at the dentist.
"most" desktops are used in business and other organizations, not by gamers, and it is these customers and their systems that will be the bulk of the e-waste generated by the forced-obsolescence of their hardware due to 10's EOL and 11's 'new' requirements.
the basic requirements (compute power, ram, storage) to install windows hasn't really changed at all since like vista or 7. dual core and 4gb ram were common even back at vista's launch (and earlier, even. many late xp systems shipped with those specs).
due to bloat these older systems (like dual core windsor am2/dual core wolfdale lga775) fall flat with 10; but swap their original mechanical hdd for sata ssd and feed 'em at least 4gb ram and they run 10 as well as 7 or 8.
it was a false/inaccurate quote, afaik, but my thinking after hearing it was..
yea, last one we'll buy, everything after will be a subscription.
might be 'postponed' a few versions (my guess is whatever's after 12), but i'm certain that's still microsoft's end goal: subscriptions and only subscriptions.
