What the ****?

 

[Ardbeg]

Can it run Mir ?

 

[Tai]

Seriously how you been running 8.1 all this time?

 

[Alecs]

Seriously how you been running 8.1 all this time?

8.1 is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay lighter than 10. When I'm virtualizing Windows for Mir I go straight for 8.1.

 

[Jev]

8.1 is so much better for Mir then windows 10, you can completly disable that oh lets reboot my system or turn it on and then BAMMMM WINDOWS UPDATE.

Can it run Mir ?

My current system ? Yes really well surprisingly

I would have been 8

 

[Relentless]

i really dont know how you use 8.1, it would kill me.

this is mine and i still think its slow.

Overclock it :P with that chip you can get up to 5.5 GHZ in boost mode

 

[Relentless]

i rarely use 10% of it ha, just seems to run load stuff pretty slow, not sure if its my SSD that i need to replace

 

[Jev]

SSD's can only be written over x amount of times.

 

[Relentless]

what do you mean by that ?, i know they have a shorter lifespan then a hdd but i didnt know they actually had a rewrite limit on them

SSD Lifespan: How Long do SSDs Really Last?

Recovering data from failed SSDs is still more challenging than HDDs for data recovery service providers. Read more about the SSD lifespan.

[Relentless]

just had a breif read of that, i have read something similar in a book i have, didnt know they had put a number to it though. still long enough for me though.

the way games and tech is advancing now we will probably need a 24 core system as base and 1TB of space per game soon.

 

[Jev]

Have a look into Moores law.

A typical TBW figure for a 250 GB SSD lies between 60 and 150 terabytes written. That means: To get over a guaranteed TBW of 70, a user would have to write 190(!) GB daily over a period of one year (in other words, to fill two-thirds of the SSD with new data every day). In a consumer environment, this is highly unlikely.

SSD had a "short" lifespan 7-8 years ago. That's not a problem anymore now.

 

[Jev]

Then it all depends on how long he has had his SSD + Usage
