    Can anybody confirm the Extreme4 is only supposed to have clips on one side of the dimm slots? It just seems strange too me, I am used to both sides having clips, and I have to say, I prefer both sides having clips, just feels more positively connected imo At any rate, is this normal?

    Is it just me? Forza doesnt look that great on PC

    I was checking out some videos of people playing Forza 7 and Forza Horizon 3 on max settings on PC.

    Why does Intel try to deceive people with it's mobile CPU naming schemes?

    I find it egregious that they label dual core parts as i7's. Dual core's are, and always have been i3's. It goes Dual core = i3, quad core without hyperthreading = i5, and quad core with hyperthreading = i7 Is there any reason for Intel to label their dual core laptops as i7's other...

    Whenever I sit down to relax, play a game, watch a show or whatever, I start to feel hunger creeping in. The longer I sit the worse it gets but if I get up and go for a walk, or do something physical, the hunger goes away. Is this normal or should I go to a doctor?

    Ruffles vs Wavy Lay's for dipping

    I bought a bag of Ruffles, a week ago I had Wavy Lay's at my folks house. Using the same dip, noticing the Ruffles break more often. Think it might be a thinner cheap. Flavor is right there though. I give Wavy Lay's points for durability.
