I had to return the Gigabyte mobo due to serious defects. |
| 47 |
Otherwise, everything as worked perfectly. |
| 48 |
I couldn't get it to hibernate, but that seems fairly common. |
| 49 |
Do you need 32 GB RAM ? -- I find 8 GB is more than enough, |
| 50 |
except when emerging LO + FF using tmpfs (they have to use a drive instead) ; |
| 51 |
you sb able to get 1866 GHz memory : mine is overclocked at 2133 GHz . |
| 52 |
I like to have optical back-ups in case Earth's poles reverse (grin), |
| 53 |
so the DVD drive will get used a couple of times a year. |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
Your list omits an SSD drive : they're much faster than HDD, |
| 56 |
tho' you should have one of those too for back-ups etc. |
