    SSDs - State of the Product?

    Hmmmm. So, for 500, you have a card that only supports Raid on the machine it's in? Near 99.9% of the current boxes don't have room, a place, or adequate cooling. Hence why I'm still using a 20 year old Antec 183. The going suggestion for SATA backup was an external NAS, but how do you connect...

    22 GB for only 400 for WD Ultrastars. Not bad. In time, I'll switch over.

I have stuff going back 25 years, backed up on 3 different 14TB drives. They are almost full. I'm in the process of backing up again, and will soon take two of the drives...

    Thank you. Don't think the cpu has ever been over 15%. Memory is pretty consistent at 20% used.

    Finally got the duck tape out and fixed the feet on the old model M in the up position. New model M came in today. Keys feel the same. I do wish they would make it with lit keys, but, that's not the case. If I can stay out of the docs office, I'll take the donuts off the Corsair. I do wonder...

    Laptop time?

    I visited DD's 'construction' place. Huge, very high end, luxury building. DD WAS the IT department, and it was incredible! Didn't see any laptops, at all, but I was there to pick up my old build, that was still working... The CF-53 has a better keyboard, and feels more solid then the 54. 55 is...

    I resemble that remark. Your information has certainly made me happy with my choice. I do wonder if I had waited a bit, will the 7950X3D take a huge price drop?

    Laptop time?

    My comment was since the Mark 3 had 16 gigs, and was noticeably faster then the 8 gig, Mark 1 that is left.

    Apparently the guy that did the analysis said it depends when you catch the CTS, and have the operation makes a difference in the effectiveness of the operation. The longer you wait, the more of a chance the surgery is less effective.

    My EKG is a little weird, prior to the first surgery. Last time that meant heart surgery, and a stint put in. If that happens again, it will be at least another year before the CTS surgery, since I will be on blood thinners after the heart surgery, for a year.

    Laptop time?

    With chips that now require huge coolers, how do you cool a laptop, and what do you look at? MY CF-53v4 got flooded on, so the 16 gig is gone. I have a v1 that still has 8 gig, but it's noticeably slower then the 16GB was. For 500 dollars I can maybe find a used CF 53 v4, with 16 gig. Desktop...

    I will. MY CTS is along far enough so a lot of the time, I can't feel the end of my fingers. Left hand is the worst. With Cherry Reds, I catch a lot of 3 and 4 keys by accident. Much less so with Buckling springs. With Cherry Reds, typing practice, or typing becomes flat out frustrating. I do...

    Went back to my model M from the Cherry Reds. The Donuts made bad worse. When you can barely feel the keys, having very light keys leads to a lot of mistakes, like hitting 3 and 4 key. What switches are closest to buckling spring, but a little smoother?

    Thank you, Mercutio. 1080i, and my 1060, were both a bit ahead of their time. It's amazing they haven't been really drilled by the latest offerings, and they maintain value. DD had suggested the 7800X3D first. It's really a maze with the socket 4 chip variety, and the 5 is likewise, many chips...

    Thanks! Searches came back the Radeon Vega 8 was the chip on the 5700G. Apparently that search was wrong, or something, not sure what, doubled the performance on the 5700G. The others are cards suggested, or one's I've owned. I also try not to upgrade unless it's a BIG jump. With Intel, it...

    Mercutio mentioned the 1080 as still viable. Looks like he's right. Odd the 1080 has retained such a high price tag.

    Ryzen

    Correct. The old rig did everything I needed to do, until it was getting near 100% cpu use, while watching video, or Hulu. I also found RAM really helped, and I was stuck at 16 GB, unable to fill the other 2 slots to get it to 24. I've yet to find any programs that are adversely affected by...

    I bought the 7900X3D. The compare shows it's faster clock speed, single thread, then the7950X3D for about 200 dollars less. The office machine is a 5700G. Should be about 3-8 times faster then the Intel 920. Plus, I don't need a video card, even though I have one. Funny part is I did all this...

    The single thread tests on these 3 are within 3.0% of each other. Essentially no difference. The 7900X3D has a 4.4mhz low end, and 5.6 high end. Seems to me not a lot of difference between the 3 chips, and the value goes to the 7900X3D, since most of my stuff is probably going to work best with...
