The Retro Roundup twitch stream returns THIS WEEKEND. With an ULTIMATE MOTHERBOAD MOTHERLOAD UNBOXING. DON'T MISS IT. 1 oerg866 @oerg866 May 21 Here's a slightly unusual CPU: The Cyrix MII-300GP for the Socket 7! It runs at 225MHz with an FSB of 75MHz, making its name a bit deceptive - supposedly it performs as a Pentium would if it were clocked at 300MHz... But as you can see, it has trouble beating the MMX 200 🤠28 17 4 157 oerg866 @oerg866 May 20 The EPoX 8KTA2 has a KT133 chipset, which is only capable of running at 100MHz FSB. Usually this limits you to Thunderbird class CPUs. This is an Athlon XP Barton modified to have a 20x multiplier. The CPU therefore runs at 2GHz (2400+), giving this old board a real boost! 5 10 68 oerg866 @oerg866 May 16 The cool PvE mode everyone has been looking forward to was cancelled. Blizzard, my expectations for you were low, but HOLY FUCK. It's literally just OW1 with microtransactions and really expensive skins now. Fuck OFF Overwatch @PlayOverwatch May 16 ICYMI: Game Director @aaronkellerOW & Executive Producer @OhReallyJared took a peek into the future of #Overwatch2 👀 Watch this segment for the latest on PvE and everything else we have planned in 2023 ✨ 👉 piped.kavin.rocks/G43vVavNl1w?t=2500 nitter.pw/i/web/status/165… 1 oerg866 @oerg866 May 14 Anyone order an 866er? 3 oerg866 @oerg866 May 12 Verbatim Azo CD-R from 1999. This one gets perfect scores on Nero Disc Speed. They knew how to make stable dyes 🤩 6 2 88 oerg866 @oerg866 May 12 It seems some kind of zenith has been reached. Cannot seem to get a good burn on the old blue eyes discs, even from reputable brands like Imation. This was not a problem 3-4 years ago. Sad, I loved using those discs. Always had this nostalgic vibe with them! oerg866 @oerg866 May 11 Old CD-Rs are dying :( this is a freshly burned DataRight CD-R (cheap Chinese off-brand) which was manufactured in 1997. It doesn't read even though it was just written to. Look at the degradation on that coating... 4 oerg866 @oerg866 May 11 Old CD-Rs are dying :( this is a freshly burned DataRight CD-R (cheap Chinese off-brand) which was manufactured in 1997.

Fuck off blizzard, ana was perfect in her current state oerg866 @oerg866 May 9 This build went slow due to my health (and BIOS bugs...)

I hate it here and I'm having a hard time going to my doctor's office to get another sick leave extension because I feel stupid for it... oerg866 @oerg866 Apr 22 Welp. It finally hit me after 3+ years. 1 2 oerg866 @oerg866 May 5 Happens on 4.14... Going further back in time as we speak oerg866 @oerg866 May 5 There's something VERY wrong with Linux's Disk I/O handling on the Intel PIIX3 IDE controller. Data transfers when devices are connected on different channels yield errors, corruption, freezes, timeouts and crashes. Verified by @DX_Deksor and me on 3 different motherboards.
