Games wanting 64GB main memory are scarce. Cinder City is one title that wants 64G, GeForce RTX 4060 with 8GB VRAM and an i7 CPU or better.

@VideoCardz 64GB memory is unrealistic with AI gobbling up wafers galore

[HARDCORE GAMES™ @HardcoreGamestm]

PlayStation will end physical disc production for new games in 2028

[HARDCORE GAMES™ @HardcoreGamestm]

@tomshardware that may change as video cards get caught up with the AI bullshit

[HARDCORE GAMES™ @HardcoreGamestm]

The Microsoft project helix suggests the next iteration of the Xbox will be able to play PC games. The PC game market is fragmented by greedy players.

@GamewithDave The DVD quickly replaced the CDROM

[HARDCORE GAMES™ @HardcoreGamestm]

@Inno3D more than its worth

[HARDCORE GAMES™ @HardcoreGamestm]

@PCMag I suggest a very strong password, but tricking customer service is hard.

@Brparadox I do not need Windows as I have licenses. I have lots of laptop RAM but no desktop type. I also have an abundance of SSD as well.

[HARDCORE GAMES™ @HardcoreGamestm]

New consoles are probably pushed back to 2027 or 2028. The RAM shortage is also hurting desktop builds and upgrades while laptops are equipped with less RAM.

[HARDCORE GAMES™ @HardcoreGamestm]

@tomshardware The vintage programming languages are still around, some use .NET such as Ada etc. COB2 C is popular.

[HARDCORE GAMES™ @HardcoreGamestm]

Sky high memory prices will keep AMD and NVIDIA being unable to offer video cards in 2026 and possibly into 2027.

[HARDCORE GAMES™ @HardcoreGamestm]

Apparently Microsoft is looking to return to the movable taskbar like older versions of Windows used to offer.

[HARDCORE GAMES™ @HardcoreGamestm]

Steam evidently does not check games to be sure they are error free. If a game does not work, right click on the game icon or link and select properties. Select installed files and chose verify integrity.

[HARDCORE GAMES™ @HardcoreGamestm]

The Steam loader seems to be really in need of an overhaul. The loader keeps beeping etc which suggests some really bad design faults.

This FCKGW-RHQQ2-YXRKT-8TG6W-2B7Q8 was the leaked Microsoft Windows XP volume license. Today few used XP anymore as 32-bit machines are not used much anymore.

[HARDCORE GAMES™ @HardcoreGamestm]

Video cards have moved sideways or in some cases lower depending on demand.

[HARDCORE GAMES™ @HardcoreGamestm]

RAM prices have gone berserk as the AI bubble gets blown way out of proportion. SSD prices have also jumped and now hard disks have risen however demand for hard disks has not been growing much.

[HARDCORE GAMES™ @HardcoreGamestm]

Once DDR3 came out 4GB and 8GB memory sticks brought 64-bit into its own as machines could have far beyond the constraints of 32-bit. This is why I used 64-bit Windows XP, Vista and beyond.

[HARDCORE GAMES™ @HardcoreGamestm]

Even back as far as when Windows 2000 shipped the need for more memory than 32-bit addressing could handle. Intel came up with physical address extension which allowed some machines to use 8GB of memory.

[HARDCORE GAMES™ @HardcoreGamestm]

Windows XP x64 gave everyone the first platform for supporting 4GB or 8GB RAM. When DDR2 was available some machines could have 4GB in a laptop and 8GB in a desktop.
