I had two TRS 80's, an IBM XT clone with a 5 1/4 inch dual hight 10 megabyte count them hard drive. To me it was the coolest shit... till I get an Amiga. I had a 486DX(66mhz) , an Athlon 500, some crap I don't remember. I sold my Amiga and my Commodore, and my Trash 80 on Ebay like a stupid motherfucker. I needed the money but I didn't realize how rare that stuff was! I bet some asshole just bought the 64 to rob it of it's SID chip! murder! I wish I had pictures, was too long ago.

Ok, thanks. I had been to that page but the link is hard to find

I can find bullshit bundles with malware, many of them, but when I go to Maxon, I was required to make some kind of super pain in the ass take 15 minutes account that didn't lead me to a download link, but wanted me to "connect devices" whatever that means. I have an option to "install on devices" but I can't add any, are there no more stand alone things any more? is everything a Windows 10 "app"? I just want to download Cinebench. This is maddening. I don't want to make an account with *spits one ground* Apple or Microsoft. Do I have to go to the Pirate Bay? Where in the actual hell is *A* download link?

I've heard "Shin Etsu" is the best if you can find the real stuff

I have a GTX 780, they are fine for 1080p gaming

I have a Xeon W3565 CPU, @3.2Ghz , and I don't really understand some things. Well, most things. It seems there are some six and eight core CPU's that will fit in my socket. Do more cores, at the same clock speed mean better performance? Also despite reading and reading and reading I am still confused on what RAM is best for gaming. I have 16gigs of Kingston PC3-10700, not sure if it's ECC. Is there a faster RAM option open to me? Every answer I find seems to confuse to bring up two more. I have to say after solving some cooling issues and getting a GTX 750ti ( already am looking to get something more future proof ) I am happy with it on the whole. The HDD has 16,000 hours on it so I will eventually have to upgrade everything. It's kinda overwhelming. The only issue that is chronic and won't go away is the occasional fit it has where it won't boot because of a "cage fan failure" errors. It's really a pain in the ass. I replaced the front fans to no avail. Then I found out that there is a proprietary Dell hard drive cage with fan that didn't come with the PC because it only has one HDD. Can I assume the original config. for this PC had the extra HD caddy and fan and now that it's gone and not detected is the reason I am getting this occasional but chronic error? Any other suggestions or comments are welcome.
