Well, it's new to me.

Anyway, I recently ordered a refurb off of Newegg(actually, from a 3rd party, but it was though Newegg). It's a 3.2ghz Intel i5 3rd gen quad-core CPU with 16GB of RAM. I'll need to get a separate video card at some point; like my old computer, the onboard video can't really handle Final Fantasy XIV all that well. But the best thing? A fresh install of Windows 10, and nothing but! No bloatware to deal with, yay~

But now, I get to install games, games, and oh God too many games, lol...

Congrats on the new laptop! It is always a blessing and also a hassle to have to readd everything and make sure all bookmarks, games, whatever gets transferred over lol

Also which server are you on FFXIV?

ah i love the feeling of having no bloatware

i always fear that my fps will drop due to bloatware haha, so i try to wipe my pc every month or so, but it still doesnt satisfy me the same way that having a new pc does :)

@fuwapuff: Well, desktop, really. And most of my characters are on Exodus(Primal DC?), although I have a presence on every North American DC.


@boyrrito: I had way, WAY too many games I wasn't playing on my old machine.


@Eruca: *ba-dum-tish*


@vengeance: Yeah, but before that comes INSTALLING The SIms… :viocry:

That's awesome! Getting a new computer is always great.

I'm needing to get myself a new one.
Once I get this job I should be able to get it. Eventually lol.
My current one does not have very strong graphics for all my artistic needs like streaming on twitch,
making art videos and using like 40+ layers per art piece. :vanora_sweat:

@MoodyBats: I know, right?

Also, I like that the new rig boots up in about 30 seconds or less; the old one usually took at least a minute...

@onsenmark: That's awesome to hear.
Mine takes sometimes a few minutes to boot up.

Though my main problem is just the constant freezing when I only have 1 tab opened. :vanora_cry:
