    I am happy you found an evening place, but please dont be saying wrong. Here is a food review of kau man gai and khao soi up in Chiang Rain and Chiang Mai.  

     

    And since khao man gai is typically a breakfast meal and khao soi is usually eaten at lunch, we suggest just sticking around all morning so you can eat both meals here and judge for yourself.

     

    Wow...you found a food review on the Internet ???? 

     

    AN evening place? Ignoring that I mentioned three and there are many more. 

     

    Try to not be so ridiculous; this is the Pattaya forum, not a Chiang Rain(sic) or Chiang Mai forum.

    I would never eat Moo Katta, the quality of ingredients tends to be too low. The vegetables are bought near the spoil date and served quickly and the cuts of meats and seafood are of the lowest quality that can be bought due to the fact is usually sliced so thin they can get away with it. 

     

    Yes when travelling I eat street food in street stalls all the time. Not so much in BKK anymore as we do most of the cooking at home, and pack lunches when going to work.

     

    Nonsense.....

    Any area selling at all. Kau Man Gai is more of a morning to mid day meal. When the chicken is gone they go home. Now Kau Mok the yellow rice is served later in the day as well..

    Wrong! Best place I used to go to opened at 6pm. Closed at 11pm.

    Another very popular place on Soi Potisan(Bhodisan) also opens in the evening.

    The woman on Pattaya Tai, around one hundred metres from the junction with Second Road, also used to do a mean chicken rice. Would boil the chicken there and then. She's still there, though haven't checked of late if she still does the same.

    I don't believe I'm misleading anybody. The CPU in my machine and his use the exact same GPU and will likely face the same issue. This is not a driver or operating system issue.

     

    Of course it is. You are completely wrong. Run a search for people using Windows with that integrated GPU and find me even a single instance of it not working.

    Your a hopeless lost cause, learn to read your own posts starting from the beginning and then the comments and then your responses you might just see the irony....unless of course you were being sarcastic in responses which I obviously missed....

     

    Now because you look a complete idiot, you are resorting to gaslighting. No one else is confused here; just you and David T Pike. Probably he is no longer confused either, after my latest post to him; so it's just you.

    I referenced the same comment as he did, stay on track I have been in the OP posting since day 1

    What comment would that be Mr Smart? He is clearly on a different track....and you are on a different planet if you think that you understood. Where did I write "20 plates of gristle"?

    It's clearly too early for you. You need more sleep.

    I'm posting from very recent personal experience. I bought a QHD monitor to replace an FHD monitor and found it would not work at out of the box settings with the GPU in my i9:990K processor which has the same GPU as the machine purchased by the OP. I then bought an MSI GeForce graphics card, plugged it into the PCIe slot and it worked fine with the satndard driver. It's now using the standard repo listed proprietary nvidea-driver-510-server which was installed using the Ubuntu UI.

     

    In theory the internal processor should have worked but doesn't. Both Philips and Viewsonic monitors failed to work at all.

     

    You mean you were using Linux, as opposed to Windows, but you are misleading someone who is using Windows...

    My eldest son went with this one.

    But I can already see it was a mistake.

     

    He will want to double the 8GB of RAM to 16. I took  a stick out of mine but it wouldn't fit into the slot. Apparently it's U-DIMM, which I hadn't heard of before.

     

    So I'll need to source an 8gb stick of Udimm RAM.

     

    The storage is terrible. 256GB SSD. of which 237GB are useable, and 60 of which are taken up with the OS etc. He downloaded some 50-60GB games and it's already full. 

     

    So I need to source a 2TB SSD, either internal or external. 

     

    The CPU is good. 

     

    The GPU is shown to max out on the Resource Monitor with some games that are 5-10 years old. So the GPU can hopefully be upgraded later. RAM and storage are more important first.

     

    So we now need to add 8GB of Udimm RAM and a 2TB SSD for storage. 

     

    CPU:Intel® Core™ i3-10105 Processor

    Chipset:Intel® B560 Chipset

     

    Can the GPU be upgraded at a later date or is it built into the processor? 

     

    TIA.

     

     

     

     

    Something based on;

    https://www.amd.com/en/products/apu/amd-ryzen-5-5600g 8000 baht

    &

    https://www.asrock.com/MB/AMD/B550M-HDV/## 3000 baht

    would be much better for not a lot more..

     

    16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3600 CL18 RAM perhaps 2500 baht

     

    550w PSU perhaps 2000 baht

     

    Case, I don't know; perhaps 1400 baht.

     

    SSD, perhaps ADATA XPG SX8200 PRO 256 GB for 1700 baht.

    Confusingly, the answer is both. That computer probably uses the built in GPU in the CPU. It's not really good enough for gaming and doesn't support a monitor beyond FHD. Monitors these days are typically QHD at least. You will want to add a separate GPU (GeForce) at some point. It will slot into the pcie slot which most mainboards have. Then the CPU will automatically notice the external GPU and use it instead of the inbuilt GPU.

    We could have told you that had you come back with an answer about the games.

     

    To my eyes, it's was an error. Perhaps you can get a refund on it and change it for something more suitable.

     

    Too many problems. Your next would be the addition of a dedicated GPU. You would then run in to the issue of an inadequate PSU; likely 180 watts. The best you could install would likely be a GT 1030 2GB....until you changed the PSU.

     

    Forget about a 2TB SSD. That would add another 6000 baht to the folly. A normal HDD will do for games storage, with the 256 GB SSD remaining as the Windows boot drive.

     

    Personally, I would take it back and get something built, with a 500 watt PSU.

    Thank you all.  The key seems to be a good broadband wifi and a smart tv. So find out who provides good/the best wifi service to where I will live.  Then sample TV offerings, not neglecting free or less popular offerings.

     

    You don't need a Smart TV. A separate box is better; anything from an nVidia Shield to an Android box.

    Broadband, not WiFi. WiFi is just a method of sharing the signal.

    It's irrelevant how much a flight costs if one doesn't earn enough to buy a ticket. Wages in NZ are so low and the cost of living so high that I had to work overseas to have a life. That's why so many Kiwis are heading to Australia and beyond.

     

    I didn't earn enough till i was over 40 to even consider an overseas holiday and I wasn't working in NZ at that time.

     

    Also the cost of flights from NZ would have been a hindrance. Not much competition, so likely high prices.

    I was fortunate enough to find November/December flights from the UK to NZ with Thai Airways for £400 return a few years back. Possibly a mistake, but they honoured them anyway.

     

    There were some Chinese airlines offering cheapish flights, but with horrendous stopovers and unattractive seating options.

     

    Though it was an amazing visit. Wasn't too keen on the weather, where you could be burned by the sun, but attacked by a freezing wind at the same time...and what's with the McCain's chips in the fish and chip shops? Unacceptable! ???? 

     

    But none of this has anything to do with falling in love over 50. ????

    LOL, LOL, LOL.

    Doesn't matter what the cost in pounds or dollars was when the wages were soooooo  much lower in real terms than now.

    Flight to Australia was NZ $300 at one stage but was unaffordable for me. Flying to Thailand ( and no visa exempt entry then ) paying for an hotel, and then paying for rumpty was not even a wet dream.

     

    My first job was as a farm hand at 8 quid, 10 shillings a week ( 4 quid of that for board ) - how far would that have paid for on a 707?

     

    It meant that I could take a trip to a place to which perhaps I would not normally travel. In fact the flight was to Singapore. I had clothes for a few days and a roll of cash. 'twas weird, interesting and wonderful.
