Why don't respect your freedom and buy VIA?

Why don't respect your freedom and buy VIA?

I would... if there were any that could compete with a desktop i5.
>>
I'm guessing it's slower than my Athlon64

>slow as fuck CPU

the absolute madman

How many minutes did it take to copy/paste that screenshot into MS Paint?

Buy can it play Crysis

>>51976108
>AMD-V
WHAAAAAT!?

Lol how did you even post on that, do pages even load at decent times?

>>51977371
Pages load fine, though I have to use hosts file to block all ads since that slows shit down a lot.
It's this:

how is via respecting my freedoms more then amd/intel?
>>
>>51977387
I remember this CPU (though not this model, the C7 one) featuring in the 69$ hobo build meme on /g/, why don't you try using ublock instead? can you multi-tab easily? your processor has 100 passmark points more than mine, I'm on a celeron 540 from 2006 kek

I remember these! why not just use a raspberry pi or something? shit is slow as fuck.

I really wish VIA didn't suck. they have the potential to be a serious 3rd option in desktop CPUs.

>>51977504
Their garbage P4 and Athlon chipsets did more damage than humanly-possible to their reputation in the PC world, and indirectly killed Soyo as a result
>>
>>51977504
It's still probably magnitudes faster than a Raspberry Pi.

I'm pretty sure even the shitty 650 MHz UltraSPARC chip in my web server will blow one of those things out.
>>
>>51976108
I remember wanting a 1GHz VIA.

God, I can't remember what socket it was for now. I think it was for 370?
>>
>>51976108
>muh free as in freedom
>uses windows
Nice b8
>>
>>51977619
Free as in beer
>>
>>51977610
The C3s fit in Socket 370

I remember drooling over their shitty Pico-ITX boards when they came out. I've always had a thing for tiny, portable technology since I traveled a lot as a kid. Never would have thought in a million years that Mini ITX would have become as popular as it has though.

If you really want freedom you need to leave x86

Yeah, I looked it up and Nehemiah sounds familiar.
I like the way they etched "Heatsink/fan required" onto their heatspreader.

Also is it just me or does the Japanese wikipedia have more information on the C3 series than the English?

Is ARM the righteous way to prophet Stallman's paradise? What must I compile? No source is too complex, yet remain vigilant, propietary code lurks in the shadows and preys upon the weak.

>>51979422
That's mips son, not arm.

I shall stand corrected, yes sir and repent my sinful ways ever touching the tainted hardware, no more shall the chains of corporations bind my soul which has seen the pure, blessed, libresource. The source of the free.
