Alien: Isolation

If first person survival mixed with horror is your sort of thing, then Alien: Isolation, based off of the Alien franchise, should be an interesting title. Developed by The Creative Assembly and released in October 2014, Alien: Isolation has won numerous awards from Game Of The Year to several top 10s/25s and Best Horror titles, ratcheting up over a million sales by February 2015. Alien: Isolation uses a custom built engine which includes dynamic sound effects and should be fully multi-core enabled.

    I remember that when Windows XP came out, more than 15 years ago, eveybody was crying out loud (some hysterically) that Windows 98 is waaay better and they will never upgrade to XP.
    But enough about operating systems, that discussion is irrelevant. I'm more interested in learning about the things (voices?) that YOU HEAR and record :)

    Maybe I went over the article too fast, is there something specific about this chip to windows 10?

    Speedstep is unique to Windows 10.

    probably not but do any of the motherboards support IDE ?

    Does the chip itself have XP drivers?

    Probably not

    Waste of money

    if you don't like windows you can use linux.

    With XP you're not getting the most recent versions of directx anyway so you're probably not gaming on it, so what's the reason for sticking to windows?

    Loss of $500-1K from you is not a big deal for Intel or any other OEM.

    Looks like intel are worried about Zen enough they have bumped up stock clocks .
    They have achieved that with out too much extra power consumption which is something I guess , but kaby lake is not a step forward

    optimization is just that, why would we expect something more?
