Its just funny how history repeats itself because FPU deficit was what held K6 back but users who never gamed got a good deal. Then K7 came along like Ryzen and the rest will be history :D

Yeah most of the time you're in the terminal running bash install.sh this and sudo nano config that but some file managers let you right click and run the scripts. Zorin and Manjaro are just a tad more user friendly. What you need to check out is the package installer for the OS, Elementary...

Your suggestion appears to be wipe and replace because marking it as bootable isn't the full story. UEFI is necessary for faster boot times, secure boot, and the use of booting from NVME so its better to learn the ways and means ;)

Bootrec and automatic repair seem to do fuck all for EFI but we recently repaired two using bcdboot after assigning a letter to the EFI partition.

We might see slowing or stagnation in cores and SMT focus on thread count. For example Zen 4 is slated to use 4 threads per core.

Having the pagefile on faster disks is part of the performance boost in itself. I would not place it anywhere else besides another SSD but then that's kind of wasteful. I know in gen 1 Hyper-V VMs it wouldn't even allow the pagefile onto a synthetic SCSI controller VHD and it may be possible...

I think I would go with the He8.

File impaired

PLC is gonna knock your guys' socks off and not in a good way

Usually the user reviews are what they are because they dont know any better. Your mistake was wasting time reading them ;) as long as you stay away from chinese brands you will generally be okay. I am eschewing any QLC based drives at the moment though so keep that in mind for professional...

JBOSSD :D

Rather than use older versions, just place the following in the local.txt file CpuSupportsAVX=0

I would say unless a program you need requires it, I'd stick with cap. At least youve got that going for you, last year I upgraded four macbooks and an iMac all from 2009-2011 that had like tiger, leopard or snow leopard on them. Couldnt just update through the store either I had to upgrade to...

Has anyone seen specifics on the VID going higher to compensate for much lower vcore? Too much of that can harm the CPU, no?

Hard Drive Sentinel is one that I have used in the past. It is not freeware however. CrystalDiskInfo actually contains some alerting and email notification functionality that I use and it is free. Tweaking is necessary so that the default 50 degree alert threshold doesnt get triggered if...
