I'm pretty sure I tried it empty as well. On one hand, it makes sense |
| 26 |
that it only affects video type packages since those are mostly about |
| 27 |
video stuff, right? I'd never thought about it before. I just always |
| 28 |
get the info from that gcc command or the cpu flag tool and put them |
| 29 |
in. I never paid any attention to what packages it affected. |

Since my mobo will be the oldest part, I may keep a eye out for a sale |
| 45 |
on them, after the holidays maybe. If I find one, buy it and just stick |
| 46 |
it on the shelf in case I need it. I replaced the power supply just a |
| 47 |
few years ago. It should be fine for a while longer. Still, I may can |
| 48 |
catch one of those on sale too. ;-) If I keep going with this, I'll be |
| 49 |
looking for a case too. ROFL |

According to the tracking, my CPU fan should be here tomorrow. That's |
| 52 |
what I'm waiting for. I got the CPU several days ago. May get busy |
| 53 |
tomorrow or Sunday. o_O |
