Re: Something's different...

by looking that the number of comments in the articles on the front page, you can clearly see that the regulars of TR are no longer around. :( This makes me sad to see. That's because the front page comment system is horrible and why bother commenting on most of it anyway? Agreed that the comment s...

Re: Goodbye TR, it was a great run

The lack of change on the front page (Articles from months ago). I think I am going to bounce as well. I was a lurker for a long time before I joined in 2007. I stopped visiting regularly in 2017 (life changes) and this past year I was only coming on once or twice a month. I decided to jump back on ...

I started watching "Legion" a couple month ago. I love that show and find it very entertaining. I binged through the first season in 3 days and when I started watching season 2, I got in 3 episodes and decided I had to go back and rewatch Season 1 again for things I missed because I starte...

I had seen this posted somewhere else and they already picked apart the screenshots to determine it was both an early ES chip (Not a B2 stepping chip) and the results were fake.

Re: Is windows 7 transferable to a new build?

I believe with Windows 7 OEM you can only upgrade the cpu. If you upgrade the mobo M$ might not allow activation on the new motherboard. But I could be wrong.

Re: Bulldozer Delayed? Again?

I happen to come across a site referencing the same information. I couldn't find it on any legit sites so I was holding off until I read it from something reputable.

Edit: Hopefully the lack of any articles referring to it in the shortbread is a good sign that the information is false.
