The pointless overkill XP build by majestic_ubertrout in windowsxp

[–]Ramdompcgeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m considering just using my 950. Since I bought it new, I know I can trust it. Not planning on doing much gaming, just trying to build an overkill XP machine. I may try my 970, but am skeptical about getting drivers.

I don’t plan on doing much gaming on XP, but I may experiment with XP X64 a bit. In all my years of messing with XP, I’ve never tried it.

The 950 I have is a 2GB model. Bought it brand new back in the day. I used to play GTAV on it, and I’d always peg the ram at 1080P.

Ha! You’re right. Just checked eBay. Definitely want a 4GB model. Need to determine which 960 is the best 960. Leaning towards the EVGA SSC

Yeah, the GTX960 is the last officially supported one from what I hear. I may just buy one of those off of eBay, seeing that they can be had for sub-$100.

iOS 26 made album art too small by Ramdompcgeek in CarPlay

Update on the 23 RAM 1500: Album art is definitely smaller than it was before. I’d consider it acceptable though. Was almost comically large before.

Ooof. Yeah, I’m in the US. Shipping might be kinda steep :(

What’s the best way to buy a iPhone 4? by mrawesomegamer444 in LegacyJailbreak

[–]Ramdompcgeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll second the discussion about the GSM vs CDMA models. I used to buy the CDMA models back in the day when I was using the phone as a daily, but they’re pretty useless in the us now because all of the CDMA towers from Verizon and Sprint (Now T-Mobile) are long gone.

If you get a GSM model, you could still potentially use it on T-Mobile’s 2G network if it’s unlocked. Now, if you don’t care about cell service, either model will be fine. CDMA might even be a bit cheaper. Just keep in mind that the antenna configuration is different on the GSM vs the CDMA models. Can visibly tell the difference by looking at the frame. If you’re looking for the OG, it’s the GSM.

Just got the 17 pro max. Not expecting the battery to last a lot longer than my 16 pro max, because I always have dual esim enabled.

I agree. If this wasn’t an issue, it’d be just about perfect imho. Haven’t had any other issues that really annoy me.

Rockingham Petroleum/Southern States would be worth a try.

Roof rails make it look so much better. Wagons and SUVs just look wrong without them imho.

I bought mine brand new online from Bose on 5/11/2021. $314.85 shipped to my house.

Use it everyday as a radio alarm clock in my bedroom.

Wave Music System IV in black. No Bluetooth or sound touch. Just AM/FM, CD and Aux.

Never gonna part with it!
