Yea. I looked into rebuilding from scratch, less the case of course. |
44 |
I'm just not sure it would be worth the speed increase. The biggest |
45 |
things I needed, more drive space and more memory. The CPU was just on |
46 |
sale. Hard to beat $75.00 for a 8 core CPU running at over 4GHz. Right |
47 |
now, it's plenty fast. I may consider it after I do some other things |
48 |
tho. I plan to do a emerge -e world before to long. I wanted to let |
49 |
the new CPU compound sort of get set in. |
50 |
|
51 |
I might add, the new video card is way overpowered for what I do. LOL |
52 |
Most of the time, it maxes out at about 10% of its power and less than |
53 |
10% for memory usage. I really can't tell much difference from my old |
54 |
220 to this new 650 series. The biggest difference, the 650 runs much |
55 |
cooler. I just hope it doesn't get bored and go to sleep. ;-) Oh, |
56 |
when I run glxgears at full screen, it still only goes to about 60%. It |
57 |
warms up a little but not a whole lot. |

Now to go see what a NVME drive is. I don't recall ever hearing of |
60 |
those. Sounds interesting. |
