Crucial bit-rotted not by
Flasherly[_2_]
Crucial_CT256MX100SSD1, released for first MLC 16nm SSD.
Bought it possibly five years ago, and implemented for data storage
considerations three or more years ago. The smallest consideration is
then a 30G directory in storage stasis for the hypothesized time:

2-in-1 RAM adapter by
SC Tom
Years and years ago, there used to be these adapters that you could plug 2
sticks of RAM in to increase the amount memory in each slot (had some on an
old 386 or 486 PC).
Are they still being made that would work on DDR3 RAM, or are the newer
memory speeds making that unstable? I have a number...

new Threadripper 3900 memory access modes? by
[email protected]
I read a review at wccftech, which has this intriguing sentence:
With memory access modes, users can select between UMA (maximum memory bandwidth) and NUMA (lowest latency) modes.
So what is going on? I guess there are 2 memory controllers which are
married to a CPU die, but can be linked to act...

crossed fingers on Samsung 96x EVO by
Flasherly[_2_]
Full circle as my first SSD was a samsung 128G Samsung
(Discounting the first Samsung 64G, since that's too old and small to
be comprehensible.) Then Crucial.
This was all MLC and old MLC, way before much else was around
Then an HP "planar MLC" which is newer but an older model from a sale

12-core AMD 3900X - does it need better cooling? by
John Savard
The recent announcement of the 3950X from AMD startled me.
Unlike the other new Ryzens, it doesn't include a Wraith cooler in the box.
Instead, it is recommended that at least a 280mm AIO cooler be used with it.
Not being an overclocker, I had to do some web searching to get a feel for what
was...

PC no bootee, but drives visible by
[email protected]
It's an old Dell Inspiron. Has i3 sticker on, but somebody upgraded to i5.
Will not boot from hard disk or CD. The drives show up in BIOS.
The Dell has diagnostic in boot menu, which tests RAM and drives.
Althought these are "DST" short tests, which don't appear to do a scan.
Swapped the drives...

SSD - is it worth the extra? by
Melmail_9494
Hi guys,
Just a quick question. I am considering going to SSD. I am not that
familiar with the ins and outs of SSD vs. regular HDD but do you think
SSD is worth the extra outlay?
Thanks

color of ethernet ports? by
[email protected]
I have seen pictures of some high-end mainboards, which have a red ethernet
port and a black port. The red being a 2.5GBASE-T port. Sombody told me that
10 Gbps ports are blue, but I doubt that. Last place I worked at had a
cluster with 10GBASE-T and I am sure it was all Henry Ford black.

DVI v DisplayPort by
Peter Johnson[_5_]
I have a monitor connected to my PC using DVI ports on both. But the
monitor has DisplayPort capability. Would there be any advantage in
installing a video card with DisplayPort capability in the PC and
using DP instead of DVI?

Intel halves the price of 18-core i9! by
[email protected]
yesiree, 10980XE will be half the price of 9980XE
No doubt due to competition from AMD.
Although I heard elsewhere that Intel didn't sell that many of the
998OXE, as not enough dies had full 18 cores working. Charge $2000
and that would dampen demand to what they could supply.
So have Intel got...
