    A very serious thread about Classic WoW

    i think people are going to play classic for two weeks, realize that the fantasy romance they had with it when it first came out isn't there anymore, because its all old. a few hardcore raiders will hang around, but everyone will go back to retail. i played in 2005 and it was amazing because it...

    Question 2019 Acer Nitro 5 Gaming Laptop - better than 2018?

    Would depend on if the game is cpu dependent. I don’t think in a laptop the difference between the ti and the non ti would be monumental.

    What were the early users here like?

    The place smelled of fusetalk avatars and off topic was full of fluff posts, flame wars, and light hearted fun. It was a less serious place, except for people like Russ and red, there were some tight knit groups of posters and people were banned temporarily all the time for taking it too far...

    Question Intel 660P worth the upgrade?

    That’s the one. They also make an older “professional” that uses the e8 I believe, which is a x2 drive, and not worth it in comparison. Hardforum had a long thread about the drive with a lot of benchmarks posted. It was about the deal in the first place when they had it at 124.

    Question Intel 660P worth the upgrade?

    Yeah sorry, phison. At least it didn’t correct toprison. They are nvme x4, and they are awesome. I put two in my laptop, and absolutely love them. I was going to get the 660, but decided the extra 10 bucks each would be worth it. I get 3200-3400MB/sec read times off them. I’ll post the numbers...

    AT pocket knife fans, get in here...

    I used to exclusively use stones and then I found a sharp maker for 75% off at a local gun store. Tried it out and never went back. I’ve found it depends on the steel and the type of blade, but it can do a great job sharpening. As far as how I find knifes, I only buy at pawn shops, so it has...

    Good Kitchen Knife set...

    Dig around in thrift stores for old Chicago cutlery back when they were US made with the real walnut. They clean up, sharpen and refinish and will last forever. I have older caphalon Damascus and the Damascus is starting to chip and flake. Also, old gerber if you can find it in good shape. Stay...

    Question Intel 660P worth the upgrade?

    If you have a micro center near you, the price on the inland premium 1tb with the poison e12 is still under 120. It’s a fast drive.
