I don't know about Mac's but at least PC workstations normally have an option in the BIOS to automatically power on after power loss

Better for what use?
Intel would probably be the most powerful one because Sapphire Rapids platform supports up to 8 sockets, Xeon 8490H has 60c/120t so in a 8 socket config that would be 480c/960t (is that even possible?).
AMD Genya is only up to 2 sockets for a total of 192c/384t

With respect. You're wrong
It was
Skylake 6th genHaswell and Broadwell 1st and 2nd Gen that was on 1150 socketSkylake, Kabylake, Coffeelake that were on 1156
Comet lake and rocket lake on 1200 socket
What you just said makes no sense at all.
LGA1156 was 1st gen Nehalem/Westmere
LGA1155 2nd/3rd gen Sandy/Ivy Bridge
LGA1150 4th/5th gen Haswell/Broadwell
LGA1151v1 6th/7th gen Skylake/Kaby lake
LGA1151v2 8th/9th gen Coffee Lake

it'll take 3rd and 4th Gen Intel chips. so somehing like an i7 3770 will go in there. I wouldn't bother with a 'k' sku cause it's got a 'B' series chipset so there's no overclocking allowed. Like @Applefreak says, 4th Gen might become tricky if the BIOS on the board hasn't been updated.
Here's some information I found on the series
https://www.manualslib.com/manual/406083/Acer-Aspire-M3985.html?page=16#manual
Intel 4th gen CPU's use a different socket, LGA1150. LGA1155 was for 2nd and 3rd gen.
For gaming even a GTX 1050 (Ti) without 6-pin would be a HUGE upgrade from the GT 710

how about the 2689 vs 2667 v2 vs 1650 v2? which one you think is beter?
At stock the 2667 v2 is the fastest of the 3, but if you have a overclocking capable board then the unlocked 1650 v2 would be better for gaming.
For OC capable board 1680 v2 would be the best but they can be quite expensive.
The 2667 v2 is like the 1680 v2 but with 100-200MHz higher clockspeeds and locked so it can't be multiplier overclocked.
-
From those I'd take the 2689 because it has 700MHz higher all core turbo. The IPC different between Sandy and Ivy Bridge wasn't quite that big.
Do you already have both CPU's? If not I'd recommend getting a 2667v2 instead, it has 1GHz higher clockspeeds than the 2660v2 and even though it has 2c/4t less it's still better in pretty much everything
-
Most boards have two sticks per channel.
Quad channel is a thing only on high end (HEDT) systems, mainstream platforms don't have more than two memory channels (not counting the 2x 32bit channels per stick on DDR5)
-
Why GT 710? That's not a big upgrade over the iGPU at all. I guess it won't hurt anything if you already own one but if you don't it's just a waste of money.
I'd just throw in a cheap SSD call it a day. The i3 should still be fine for basic web browsing which I assume you are going to use it for
-
Have you tried if you get artifacting with the integrated GPU too?
And have you tried a different display cable?

Mac Pro 4,1 uses delidded CPUs so you'd have to delid them which is quite risky. Unless they are meant for the Mac Pro and are already delidded.
I don't think it's worth upgrading from a X5550 to a X5570 which is only slightly faster. I'd recommend upgrading the firmware to the 5,1 one and getting X5600 series Xeons instead.

On Intel .... I honestly don't know when they cut PCI out, but I suspect it's around LGA1366 ... Wikipedia says X58 + ICH10R had PCI support ... before that some chipsets had PCI enabled, others didn't have it .. see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_chipsets#5/6/7/8/9_Series_chipsets
B75, Q75 and Q77 were the last ones with native PCI

So basically you can run w11 without any drawbacks on "unsupported" hardware?
Version updates like going from 21H2 to 22H2 is a bit tricky but not that hard when following a tutorial.
Because of that I wouldn't recommend average people to run Win11 on unsupported hardware

Oh, you can get a brand new Intel laptop for under $150, the problem is is it fit for purpose? The biggest problem with laptops and Linux at least used to be are there stable and available Linux drivers written for its various subsystems? so it’s kind of a model by model thing. A machine that, say has everything work but the wifi may work fine if wifi isn’t needed. Just plug in a usb wifi dongle. If it is ever needed. Cpu wise they generally all work. The bugbear is (or was) the ancillary systems. Generally the older a device is the more likely everything works. Laptops had particular issues with this one.
Those cheap new laptops usually have low amount of soldered memory and non-upgradeable slow eMMC storage. They also have Intel Atom based Celerons or Pentiums which don't use much power but are much, much slower than what used laptops have in the same price range.

Oh, it's that website. I last saw it few years ago and it's hilariously bad.
For example a 2005 Pentium 4 vs the 12400:
"The Core i5-12400 targets mid-range customers while the Pentium 4 660 is a high-end CPU. The Core i5-12400 has 6 cores, while the Pentium 4 660 has 1. Having a higher number of cores improves running multiple applications and heavily multi-threaded tasks. Having an excellent base clock speed of 3.6GHz helps the Pentium 4 660 achieve better performance in most applications. The Core i5-12400 comes with an excellent boost clock speed for gaming and single-thread tasks. Core i5-12400 consumes less power at 65W. With an efficient 10nm manufacturing process, the Core i5-12400 has better thermals. The Core i5-12400 is relatively newer."

$104 is way too much for a 3770K. At least here in Finland you can even get a 3770K+Z77+16GB RAM for that price, 3770K alone goes for under 50€.
How much cheaper is the non-K 3770? Even though it's multiplier locked you can up the multiplier by 4 so you get from the stock 39-39-38-37 to 43-43-42-41

Ha! not where I am from! People are really charging $200 on marketplace and craigslist for 15 year old laptops.
I thought the core 2 duo came out before 2006. Maybe I am wrong.
The Dell GX520 was released in 2005 and Core2 Duo in 2006. OptiPlex 745 was the first one with Core2 Duo support.
I ran a Minecraft 1.4.* server on an IBM ThinkCentre S50 with a Pentium 4 HT 3.0GHz a decade ago. It ran somewhat decently with 15-20 players but obviously Minecraft has changed a lot since then.
Minecraft Bedrock is a completely different game so I have no idea how that would run on a P4. Last time I ran a Bedrock server it was still called Pocket Edition and that was on a Core2 Duo E8400 which is much faster than anything the GX520 supports

I don't understand. Doesn't the LGA 775 socket support those CPUs? I just want to find something useful to do with this machine. What is keeping me from upgrading the CPU?
Your PC was released before Core2 even existed, the VRM on the motherboard isn't compatible with any Core2 CPUs. Neither is the BIOS.
Some boards with the 945G chipset are compatible with early Core2 Duo's but not that one.
You can get a much newer and more powerful system for $50

You seem to already have the fastest CPUs for it.
I guess by gaming you mean Windows XP retro gaming? It's not the fastest for that but should be fine.
For modern things? No, those CPUs are netburst based (Pentium 4). Even a Core2 Duo or Quad would beat the hell out of those CPUs
-
H61 chipset only has support for 4x SATA 3Gb ports
-
Which slot you put it in? The slot under the CPU socket is PCIe 3.0 x4 while the bottom one is x2. Though your read speed is above what x2 could do but way below what x4 should do.
Have you tried other tests like CrystalDiskMark?

- what RAM situation would be best, should I switch it up? I've actually got a stick of 8GB Hynix 1600mhz laying around (I think), which works as far as I know. Would it be better to just have the two 8GB sticks in the system, for example?
I would replace the 2GB stick with the other 8GB stick.
With the 2GB stick in the system only 8GB will be in dual channel (flex mode). With 2x 8GB + 2x 4GB that would be 16GB
But if you don't need more than 16GB RAM in total then it would be best to go with just 2x 8GB sticks
Since you have a Z68 board you could overclock the CPU a bit, assuming you don't have the small stock pancake cooler.
4c/8t 2600(K)/2700K/3770(K)/Xeon E3 v1/v2 would be a pretty big upgrade if you can find one for really cheap

Can you use 2gb graphic card with B350
in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
Posted
As someone who still uses 2GB cards (GTX 960, 760 and 660) I can say 2GB VRAM hasn't been good for modern AAA games at 1080p in many years. Not that the cards would be powerful enough anyway.
For lighter games it's still fine but I definitely wouldn't recommend buying one
