AMD Ryzen price/spec leaks

One of my cousins is a project manager for Intel and even he doesn't just get freebies whenever. I don't know what kind of hook up you're talking about.

They aren't free, but the employee discount is about 50% off retail. Ask him about it, he might hook you. Just don't go reselling, he probably wouldn't appreciate you getting him fired.

That is exactly what Xer0 would do, which is prolly why his cousin lies to him lol

"Nah man they don't give us any company discounts, it sux"

I had an Uncle that worked at Motorola as an engineer. He used to hook me up with obscure parts to play with and at the time of yearly obsolescence, a one year old Mac Color Classic with 36MB of ram and a 33MHz 68k. Base specs were fantastic for the time, but it was still a frustrating Mac designed for children and seniors, very limited use. Had to basically turn it into a footrest, which he then saw and never offered any parts again. Which sucked, because I still maintain that the 68k was a far far far superior architecture to the x86.

LOL if I got anything half off I wouldn't be selling it. Its not every day you get to buy high end Intel processors that cheap. He was rocking server class processors well before it was cool to have a lot of cores. He is the one that introduced me to the sort of shit you can pull off with a lot of cores. I didn't know shit about virtualization.

LOL I have legitimately seen kids who got sick gaming rigs only to wind up playing Minecraft on them. Its a meme for a reason. It actually happens.

I think the Minecraft of my gaming days as a teenager was Runescape 1.0... not the same level of popularity, but if you watched anyone play it you were like "Wtf.... why do you play this?"

I don't get the Minecraft thing either. But the mod community is what makes the game very resource demanding. Popular mods today that still don't average 60fps on high end hardware.

I am going to open a thread about game modding... I think it is worth its' own thread
