Quit fucking around with those other, lamer states of matter and just give the people what they want.

I kept one in my car and actually used it to tie down patio furniture while helping a buddy move houses.
I just wadded it up into a ball and put it into the trunk when I was done with it. Haven’t used it since tho.

Oof I had one of those at work and they were really particular about the file formats they played. This was like 5-6 years ago tho, have they gotten better?

eBay has plenty of x86/x64 computers that don’t technically support Windows 11. An old Lenovo desktop/sff with a 7th gen i7 could be a pretty cheap entry point. 8th Gen and up will be more expensive since they can still run windows 11

Check eBay quick before all the reasonably priced ddr5 is snatched up.
Good luck! o7

True, but you can expand the ram, your board has enough slots. You’re stuck with whatever video card you can afford until the next upgrade.

At least the AMD chips have an integrated GPU so with some ram you could have a basic computer.

Good luck my friend.

And hey, at least that’ll give you an idea if you’re using more than 16GB. If so you’ll know where to get 32GB cheaper.
- Comment on Noob RAM speed question 3 weeks ago:
Oh no. I misread the OP; you’ve already bought it haven’t you?
Maybe it’s returnable?
- Comment on Noob RAM speed question 3 weeks ago:
They’re $20-35 per stick (8GB 3200mt/s) on eBay right now. looks like people are already raising the prices on the used market too, but not everyone has yet.
- Comment on Noob RAM speed question 3 weeks ago:
I think the simple answer is yes 2 sticks is better than one. If only due to the speed increase from moving to dual channel memory.
Also, you may want to check ram prices again, they’ve literally doubled in the last couple months. Even on ddr4. Used ram might be a substantially cheaper option for the next month or so, until those prices go up too.

If you have a balcony that gets sunlight, you could put a couple panels there. Certainly won’t provide all your electricity but it could make a dent.
Or you could look into community solar projects
