This is something for which I'm waiting patiently:

Zotac 3060 Twin Edge OC Video Card.jpg
I'm patiently waiting form my wife to purchase approximately this much in clothing from Amazon, and then I'm getting it! The price will hopefully have dropped a little by then.

Just tell her she can buy some Manolo Blahnik or Jimmy Choo shoes, and you'll be set. :)

    Still assembled, still runs. Haven't turned it on for 15 years?
@jvickers I was just on a thread where a guy who has that very GPU was having slow boot times. I looked it up to direct him to the latest Nvidia drivers and I said WHOA on the specs and double WHOA on the price.
Me, I patiently wait for my SS check. I lead a boring life and my aspirations are low.

Thanks. I'll look around at other cards before settling on one. All the Zotac cards I've ever had have been pretty solid, so I usually gravitate towards those.

That's a great idea! She already has $250 accrued towards me getting a new card. I told her what I was planning to do, and she said, "Go ahead and get it now." :unsure: It made me wonder what she has in her Amazon shopping cart...

Then, I was like, "Are you insane? Didn't you hear how much those cards cost?"

Steps for marital bliss.

1. Shut up
2. Do what you're told.
3. Say: Thank you dear.

:D


And, by all that's holy... don't forget that today is Valentines Day. LOL

And that there will be 364 days to be reminded about whatever you did today. :)

I have been waiting patiently to install WSA on my Huawei. Come to find out I need at least 8gb of ram. Problem is my Huawei has 8 gb which cannot be upgraded. I will try but if it bogs down, I will need to uninstall it. This is my main laptop for now. Wish me luck.:)

I have decided to not install WSA on my Huawei. I will upgrade my Acer to windows 11 which has more ram and try it from there.
