Pc ram , and its new found cost level , throu the roof ....

my son hinted his laptop was struggling wth some games , ok , he has 8gig DDR4 ram , I can add another 8 from my pc which is for sme reason refusing to use it all .

remove ram from my pc , thinking some tme in the future I can pop 4gig back in ...

open up his laptop and the supplers have already used the expansion slot to give his laptop 8gig !!!

ok , lets take out the  4gig and add the 8gig and see how it goes , it went ok ..   game frame rates are up , running smoothly 

so now the 4 gig is now going in my laptop ..

 

a win !

My wife announced this morning that she was going to Boots to get some crystal meth. (She meant menthol crystals to clear her sinuses). 

Are you SURE about this?! 😁

New to me and I suspected AI but apparently not.

In 2050 something he’ll be taking his son to a pub and after paying £150 for a pint , will recall the good old days when you could (almost) get a pint, soft drink and bag of crisps for a tenner.
