Like before, me and Dan are taking notes on the next Old Hardware episodes to do.  Feel free to comment on suggestions on products from the past 10 years, but otherwise let us know what you think of the ones below!

40/40 That's cool. I do think that the switch from CRT to LCD is an interesting topic to talk about. The question is why not many people sad that colors on CRT look better so we are not switching.

Honestly did not know Intel tried at smartphone chips. Seeing how bad their u processors still perform it must have been bad.

Yes! I suffered with an iPhone7 from AT&T that was horrible at first, and they said it was due to the intel hardware. I got better after a while though, and the phone lasted me 3 years in the end.

Not on the list, but I was wondering if you guys might consider covering the history of 3D positional sound at some point in the future? Aureal had some amazing technology that used what some people call wavetracing, but they were ultimately crushed by Creative. Also, are there similar technologies available today? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aureal_Semiconductor

I remember when I bought an off the shelf Windows 8 laptop just when Windows 8 was released. It would hardly run crome Lol!

I voted for early LCD vs CRT, but I'm actually interested in all of those topics. How about Phenom II vs Core 2?

Windows phone would also be a good one. They had some great phones in the beginning. Now more than ever would be a perfect time to bring them back or at least partner with a smartphone company to make a gaming phone built for Xbox. At first I was all PS5 but the whole eco system idea has really started to muddy my decision process. My dream is playing a 100 hour RPG and progress seemlessly, on my PC, console or phone.
