I'm GeekHomeGamer and i'm on this things from the age of 9 yo i think .. or 10.. don't remember
I'm starting with Commodore, MSX, Amiga, obviously Coin Op, consoles and PC ( i remember my first Intel 486 DX2 66Mhz )...
I see born everything that today is normal... Asus/Rog - Intel/Windows - Matrox/3DFX/CREAITIVE/NVIDIA... EVERYTHING... from dos 2.1 to first Windows with dos 6.22 to Windows 3.11 to Windows nt 3.51, the born of Windows 95 to Windows 98/sr2/me/2000 and i starting to use only Apple Computers for Music productions and other productions on audio and video stuff...
Now, after 15 years of completely boring Intel/nvidia monopolio , apple computers and Consoles for gaming... i return to my original route .. and impressed by "what" AMD achieved with RyZEN ( expecially Threadripper )... i decided to build a new (all around) system.
this is the short story.
See you on the forum...
