You need a new laptop?



Not really, I've had so many issues with this one they're offering to buy it back and offer me a new one which would only cost a couple hundred instead of $1400, even with the issues this one still has so I'm going to do it.

Because it makes sense that a product specific component would come with that particular piece of hardware. AMD cards come with crossfire connectors.

Even Netflix will stream 1080p on some devices and not others

It isn't all NetFlix. I know your browser doesn't stream 1080p because of silverlight. NetFlix is ready to help fix it, so I hear but Microsoft is giving pushback.

Reason being... they want the XBONE streaming 1080p. So we are stuck with Roku, which is awesome none the less but still annoying we cant have 1 device to do it all.

I still don't understand, why?

They come with your motherboard. You want a bridge which matches your motherboard, no?

I'm not buying a motherboard just for the connections

I would much rather them come with the cards so I can have them now and it can work

Understand, it is dumb but really don't remember if they came with my 5 and 6 series. So IDK how long it has been since they stopped.

That statement is like saying that shoe laces should come with your socks, instead of the shoes.

I didn't know that about silverlight. Microsoft drags their feet for a lot of things. I guess when you have a product everyone needs you can do that

No it is not at all.

Having that bridge isn't vital for anything. Your shoe laces are.

Apparently it is vital at this moment for Blue. That's the point. They should come with the cards. It's the goddamn principal of it!

Well they do and they don't.

Around "release" season they are airing 1-2 per month but during the dead part they usually won't air any.

I know we had a few photographs in this thread, but this will probably get lost.

This my Canon EF 70-200 mm f/2.8 L USM. I've had this thing for quite some time. It has been my favorite outdoors lens for.. well forever. Its finally time to a lens with IS (Image Stabilization), the internals are also upgraded making action shots a lot easier.

I just sold it Amazon today, it felt like giving away a child.

Shtt

IDK so a Z77/Z87 with a PLX chip or X79 with a PLX? ASUS puts them in both.

Sorry I don't know what your current motherboard plan is right now. I do however remember seeing you post about an ASUS Z77 board.
