Just show up and see for yourself, you definitely won't regret it 🎉

Same here. I almost bailed on my first outing, but I sucked it up and went anyway. Now, I'm pretty much here every single time.

At Lone Hearts, they show up in groups of 20 or 25 just to hang out, so yeah, it’s totally overwhelming. 😁 Around here, you're lucky if you get 10 people tops.

We’re always taking in new stuff. Just swing by. 🙂 I'll have a few more coming in soon, so 🙂 don't even worry about it.

It'll be awesome to catch up. Honestly, you were such a blast to hang out with last time. 🙂

So... we're hanging out this Wednesday, June 3rd. Let's meet up at 4:00 PM right in front of the statue in downtown Chicago. From there, we'll just head wherever the vibe takes us.

Just a heads-up, the next day is a holiday, so you'll have plenty of time to get all your errands and stuff done. 🙂

I'm with you there. I've got that Celeron and honestly, it's a great little chip.

Anyone looking to offload a hard drive that's still under warranty? Shoot me a DM with your offers. I'm located in Washington, D.C.

You can actually overclock a non-K processor; you just need to know what you're doing. I recently saw two buddies of mine overclocking their non-K chips right in the BIOS.

I won't be there, but send the $$$ my way.

🙏 🤣

The era of the Duo Core is definitely winding down, yeah. But honestly? They’re still solid little processors.

Look, even a Pentium / Celeron (Duo Core) isn't all that bad. I’m running a G1840 right now and it's a total workhorse. I get through just about everything on it. Personally, I think an Intel Duo Core Best Buy is the way to go—you just can't beat that value for the money. Some people swear the AMD Six Core is the king of budget builds, but I'm not buying it. Honestly? Celerons are awesome. Especially the 1820 or the 1840.

Honestly, I’ve done just about everything there is to do with Intel. Even on my old G1840, I can run Bandicam to record Grid Autosport without any lag or stuttering. I do all sorts of stuff with this Intel dual-core. But man, I really want to give an AMD processor a shot. Intel is a proven thing—it’s never let me down. AMD is... well, I don't really know what to expect.

That Sapphire card isn't quite as solid as the triple-fan version. Don't let it fool you. 😉

We're meeting up this Saturday the 25th. Carl Rivera43 will drop the details. 😉

jadelynx2, don't be such a party pooper and just get over here. 🙂 It's gonna be absolutely wild. 😁

Some new kids on the block... just some new forum regulars. 😬

It's always great to see some new faces. 🙂

It’s actually Saturday the 25th, not the 24th. 😁 Don't throw people off! 😉

If anyone's up for a chat, hit me up. 🙂
