Asus X99 Pro Motherboard Review - The first motherboard
in our labs to support unofficial memory
multipliers, Asus' X99 Pro quickly became the go-to product for our
recent DDR4 roundup. Does the X99 Pro have enough additional
features
to justify its over-$300 price?

"What If Windows 10 Fails"
There will be idiots ready to buy it, hard to fail really. That and they have the classic, directx game engine card to pull, it will only work on this OS so you have to upgrade because our programmers couldn't possibly backport it.. trollololol |

| Quote: | | The end of mainstream support won't really affect consumers as much as it will businesses, so if you're still on the Windows 7 boat, Microsoft will still be patching it to remain afloat for five more years, but developers will not be adding new features to it, such as the upcoming DirectX 12. |
There are no DX10 or DX11 games worth having yet (how many years has it been?). So who cares about DX12, really?

Same as what happened to Vista, Windows 8, Windows 8.1: we skip it and stay on Windows 7. If there's no worthy successor to Windows 7 by then, we move onto Linux for good - unless Google releases their Android OS which kills both Apple and MS. At that point, Apple dies (they are close to it already) and Windows becomes a server-only platform (which is also pretty close to that).

I had an Outlook.com mailbox, but MS won't let me log in anymore without entering another email address or a phone number, so I said fuck the Microsoft bully regime.

Yeah, well, dying companies have to cut expenses. I don't feel sorry for them. They ripped off a lot of people.

Again, and Apple product, so it was expected. No quality just price and make-believe.

The White House has been taking a lot of steps lately, quite a few of them in the wrong direction or failing. I predict a sorry-ass future for internet users in the US. But, they choose their own governments so what do I care; this is what they wanted.

I like Jimmy Kimmel. But it's funny how stupid people are. I guess that explains why their privacy is going down the toilet.

How come they never arrest Sony officials/employees when their service dies due to their own stupidity. |

I was amused reading your post csimbi. ^^
From financial POV you cannot say Apple is dying. Although I feel the quality and security (haha ;) decreasing too, I see that as normal collateral damages of becoming mainstream. Apple will survive still quite a lot of time, I'm sure.
What if Win 10 fails? I don't think it will.
Due to different developments with the mobile market MS needed to adapt and still is trying.
Win 10 will improve things technicalwise at least for devs and admins.
Yes I still can have my Win7 Box with VS 2010, which is for now the best dev-combo I had, but as long as new tech isn't backported to Win7 I'll always consider to upgrade, if SP1 of the new OS is out AND the new OS has no real big flaws. What I do not expect from this version, besides normal MS fails.
But here matters the gamer perspective, are there games coming out not supporting W7 anymore? This would be interesting to foretell a fail of W10. |

X99 motherboard is as interesting as 3-way gtx 980 SLi is to most of the people. There is ONE type of cpu that you can use in it and that's i7 Haswell-E, i5s will go on different socket and will use ddr3.
So when you are paying 1000$ for a cpu, does it really matter if motherboard is +-100$? Especially when ddr4 gives no real performance improvements over ddr3 but it's sole purpose is to prevent memory bottlenecks and to rip you off lol
as for win 10, if it fails, just like with Vista, will keep to the older OS that works better for us. For some it's win 7, for some win 8.1, doesn't really matter |
