Reply to In the news: AMD Ryzen will support Windows 7 in Personal Computing Stardock.net Forums

After reading the various reviews, 15 so far, my belief is that Ryzen is only behind Intel's I7-7700 which is a 4x4 CPU which can get higher Freq. I believe because of the following reasons: 1. The majority of Games are written for Intel, and any coding for AMD Products is not as optimized. 2. And the games themselves for the same reason cannot see more than 4 Cores and 8 threads. 3. Even the vaunted 6900 or 6950 are not faster than Intel's 4 core's in game

Insane and Excessive Levels in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Of the Last 20 games I have started at these levels, only 5 have acted normally showing all time for builds of

Reply to Five Features Operating Systems Should Have in OS Wars WinCustomize Forums

Like all of the comments concerning hte base O/S and third party add ons, that soomn become part of the O/S. The key is, to make the UI and the underlying O/S more user friendly, not more confusing. MSFT et al should stick to refining to the basic O/S and allow third party developers the chance to improve or make the system "friendly". Inovation seems to be lacking, even in the Linux Community. Same ideas refined, not redefined or expa
