Yeah, make sure that you have at least 8 GB of RAM and you should be rockin' with just about anything in the marketplace right now. Since you aren't a gamer, your standards won't be as high, so you don't really need that large a budget to get something that will satisfy you...

Freerunner, You sound like you definitely know what you need, and that is the most important element of the process. The main thing I would tell you is that you should use Google and search, search, search. After this, you should go to Google and search some more. After Google contacts you...

I didn't combine my messages. Someone else did that. ...and I will willing obey the dogmatic assertion that you proclaimed, my lord... I shall abide by thy every wish... "Upgradability shouldn't be heralded as a crazy new feature" I shall never herald upgradability as a new feature ever...

Darren, this beast-like thing is NOT a PC, it's an Apple, bro... ;) Yes, Deerling7, I believe that your visionary prediction will probably come true... :)

It probably won't be available until 2019, but some pre-release material has been distributed by Apple in order to whet the appetite of the entities that would crave this sort of thing... Here's a pic of the brain of the beast... Now I use PCs, however, I am always hopeful with all of the...

If it works just fine and performs all of the tasks that you need done, then keep on using it... If the well gives you water, then ya might as well keep on drinkin' o_O

The latest upgrade for Civilization VI (Rise and Fall) is now available, and all of my spare time has gone to this game. I am a Civ veteran who goes way back to the days of CivII (on the original Playstation).

Awesome game...

I hear ya, bro... and the stuff is SO overpriced. ...and this is for stuff that you KNOW you're gonna have to upgrade.:cool:

There is also https://www.xidax.com/ They were willing to give me a loan of $500 to build me a gaming rig. There are also a lot of other options.

Thanks, Intel man. I forgot all about that. Yeah, I remember that now. But I sure am glad to find out that that sucker will jump up to 3.50GHz when it gets under pressure. That's pretty cool. Now if only this CPU were hyperthreaded. However, I'm playing Civ VI right now and the response and...

How would I do it? I'm already running 3.00GHz Isn't that enough speed. I play Civ VI and occasionally some video editing.

Yeah, I"ve pretty much drawn the same conclusion that you have. A local junior college has LOTS of Macs. They seem to breed in universities like tribbles. I cannot say this strongly enough... I HATE MACS!!! :mad::mad::mad: I despise them.... :( I could never figure out anything on them and...

Thanks for your reply, strollin'! That's quite a good record you have with Dell products. I'm really glad you have had so much good fortune with their products. ...makes me want to go out and buy a Dell... :cool::):cool::):cool::) :p Wait! I already did that...

Merry Christmas, strollin I'll do you one better... I used to have a Commodore 64 with a cassette drive. Yeah, you heard me (he said as the nurse at the rest home adjusted his pillow). a cassette drive. My best friend had a Texas Instruments TI-99/4A.... Can any one here beat that... :D

strollin and aldan, thanks for your replies... ::) There are others on other message boards who are telling me that Dells are high-quality machines and that they have seen them last up to ten years... :cool:

Yeah, I remember the old Pentium 2's. Memories... :cool::cool: Beers, thanks for magically transporting me back to my younger days when the Pentium 2 was the latest thing... :)

So what unit would you suggest, beers? I can still return the unit at this early stage of the warranty I received from the brick and mortar where I purchased the computer.

Yeah, I'm in the United States, so they could just pay for shipping and accomplish the same thing. Civilization VI is a turn-based strategy game and the terrain generator does some pretty fierce things, but so far, my new Dell seems to be handling it with no major problems. Yeah, if I wanted...

Thanks for your reply, Pete... I was unaware that Dell would pick up my computer from my residence if they couldn't handle my problem(s) over the phone. ...and since I will primarily use the computer for social media, my job (an online commute to a virtual office), audio mastering, and...
