I've never crawled down that hole before either. Not sure if I would like it down there but I feel like I have to try...
-Backups are always cheaper than time machines. Old native Swedish saying.
Hey, do you have one of the HP TI USB3 cards in there? That is a worthwhile upgrade to think about.
No, my Z is filled with wifi-card, Quadro FX4800 and a RAID-card. Since i don't really use the RAID-card I might as well look into one of those USB3 cards. I've seen them before but I always wanted to try using my RAID-card before throwing it out since I probably payed good money for it...
What do you use USB3 for that USB2 lacks? Is it just the transfer speed?
My external backup drives runs in USB3 cabinets, but the discs them selves are quite slow...
My wireless HP keyboard stutters when I plug it in to my laptop's USB3. So does all my old favourite logitech USB2 mice, so I haven't really looked in to it since my quadro takes up two rows, one pci socket is lost and i need wifi and my Quadro.
I guess I could get a USB wifi-dongle and make it work...
p.s. Good choice on those two matched processors. See if you can get identical sticks in each of your 6 memory slots..... they are synergistic when you do that. 6 x 8GB would be nice. You can run ECC unbuffered to get a bit more pop if you want.
The local server shop has dirt cheep memory on the shelf. The exact same matching sticks that's already in my computer. So i'll probably go for the ridiculous 96GB in the end... To add 4x16 would be cheaper than 6x8 i think. Maybe I could trade him my 16's...
Is the difference between buffered and unbuffered memory noticeable on a win10pro workstation running Solidworks, Adobe Creative Suite 6, two virtual machines (openSUSE and macOS<-not really. Of course I don't, Officer. That would be illegal!) and firefox with about 5 million tabs open?
Remember that you are talking to someone who doesn't think hes suffering from running dual channel...
Give it to me straight doc. Am I missing out?
