What worries me, a cap on the mobo deciding to take a long break and let |
| 30 |
the stink out. I checked when I bought it, they do use high dollar caps |
| 31 |
but still, they age no matter how well they are made. I do have a |
| 32 |
backup mobo tho. Current is a Gigabyte 970 but backup is a 870. It |
| 33 |
will even run the same kernel I think. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
I just need to make time to find out where I get the most bang for the |
| 36 |
buck. I read a few weeks ago that Intel is the most cost effective |
| 37 |
now. It used to be that power compared to money that AMD was a much |
| 38 |
better deal. Things have changed. That's all for another day tho. |
| 39 |
Gotta save up some money. Likely need about $1,000 or maybe even more. |
| 40 |
I could reuse some things tho. Mobo, CPU and memory being the big |
| 41 |
things I'd need to even start. Maybe a power supply too. My P/S is |
| 42 |
only a few years old tho. Fairly modern. Plenty of watts. |

One of these days. |
