Sorry folks -- Had it with AMD and AMD graphics
I know there's loads on these boards who swear by AMD
I really have a problem with these processors
Decent AMD processor (4 core) on 32 GB machine has problems when running a Windows VM using SlyFox (or modern equivalent) to rip a DVD into an iso image. Using Samsung external DVD device for the DVD that I'm ripping to iso image.
Get "Cannot read DVD" and all sorts of associated errors
Running the same VM on a lowly 8GB HP laptop (i5 CPU) with Intel graphics etc -- no problems whatsoever
Running the same VM also on a NAS with a lowly INTEL Celeron procesor and 16 GB RAM with NVIDIA graphics -- no problem either.
Bye Bye AMD -- I like competition but I just have too many problems currently with AMD --
If a 4 core processor with 32 GB RAM can't do what a lowly laptop with just 8GB RAM handles with ease -- Bye Bye AMD
Laptop -- :
AMD just gives DVD read errors !!!!!!!
