Potentially the longest thread in history...

Re: Today I have...

The drive had several SMART attributes tripped, only way for some these to trip is from one hell of a drop. I refuse to RMA this drive, if Spinrite can't fix it, shes gonna be buying a new one.

And again, because something is the kids fault you wanna blame the company? Doesn't make much sense.

Not blaming the company, I didn't notice some of the attributes that had been tripped.

have a 8800gts 512 currently and do want a future upgrade
debating if i should get a 580 or a 560
i just wanna max everything and don't wanna have to worry about messing with settings
i found a pny 560ti for 160 refurbished from newegg
should i jump on it or save up for a brand new 580 or 570?
i will be hooking this up to my 37led as well for movies and games sometimes

580 if your PSU can take it.

 

[PP Mguire]

580 if you wallet can handle it. Or OC like a mad mother.

No but you can get close, if he waited for kepler, and bought 3x SLI GTX680's, the best intel cpu and 32gb of ram, he would be set for 5 years easily.

Yea... Wait till an 8 year old decides to drop that tablet while standing up on a counter, or from the top bunk onto a hard wood floor. Let me see you people recommend electronics for children again when they cost $600.

I'm not arguing that, i'm arguing that if you insist to give a child a tablet iOS makes a lot more sense than an Android tablet.

Should an 8yo have a tablet or laptop ? Not of his own, no. For the reasons you mentioned. A phone, yes, because they can survive the drops most of the time. If I had a kid I would encourage them to use a tablet/laptop/pc but I wouldn't let them have their own, they could just use mine under supervision. The only thing I would let them have of their own is a desktop PC.
