shit like "Driver Booster" came with many variants/clones all of which include good ole viruses because of how they were obtained.

2600K-2700K-2500K-3770K-3570K If you pretty much built a computer with one of the said CPUs in 2010 to 2012. You were pretty much set for the next 8 years. IPC gains were extremely significant over pre SB architectures. Before that, maybe I could recommend Q6600 from 2007. If you got that in 2007, you were good for a long while. I dont know much about AMDs history to be honest.

100% sure you got that wrong. Computer reaches to a DNS server. DNS server resolves the domain client sends client connects to website using IP and hostname combination. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OSI_model

not it wouldnt. All DNS does is translates example.com to numbers like 1.1.1.1

Sadly nothing is ever this clear when it comes to picking a distro. CPU power is important. Anything older than 2007 is hardly useable nowadays. It’s even worse for mobile CPUs, as they had dual core processors up until just couple of years ago (2018 I think). You can have smooth experience with Linux Mint with 4G of ram. Which would be bare minimum for any computer that is going to use a web browser nowadays. SSD is also crucial for smooth user experience however lack of it can be mitigated by having more ram and using a filesystem like ZFS. Another thing you don’t mention here is GPUs. For example early GCN cards are getting phased off and their support is becoming lackluster. Its much worse for Intel igpus for example, anything predating HD2000 series will be painful to use even for web browsing. just install Linux on it and send it doesn’t work all the time.

Check to see if stuff is actually getting sold. Market is very saturated imo.

Dont tighten your CPU cooler and try again, keep it finger tight. See if that helps

yeah totally fine

reseat your CPU for good measure.

I don’t think your issue is software just yet. I got the same nic in my proxmox node for over a year no problems. I would suggest doing a memtest using prime95s most memory intensive setting. Then also testing cpu stability with its most cpu demanding setting.

Back in my age days, I used to plop 9v batteries to each terminal to see how much of a noise (more like a pop) made to find out polarity. Not sure if it was the correct move lol

Yeah I just did to my system couple of hours ago. Unraid is unnecessary IMO. Other than that HW selection looks good. Have fun.

I can guarantee you pretty much any router is capable of handling more than 20 devices and works for gaming.
