How are Intel's drivers? My new PC has an A750 because I like to live dangerously. It's been great in Windows for the few games I want to play (the older stuff that has performance issues with Arc I'm largely not interested in or can play on my old PC)
I work for a college. We use our internal link shorteners to make sure a given link points at the latest version of a resource and measure engagement by seeing what is the best way to get important information to our students and faculty. (Did people actually click on that announcement in our LMS?)

Testing it with Tyrian here, but my plan is to play through Ultima Underworld soon on it.
What’s everybody else’s vintage computer of choice?
I stand by my head canon that Galaxy class ships are equipped to deposit saucers on planets to establish starter colonies. It's already basically a floating city in space.
