    brilliant thing about that is you can still put the best gpu in it and totally max out everything else on the cheap.

    my 2012 rig just got all the ram it can address, a 3060, an NVMe ssd because that was a very expensive thing I never did in the first place that is super cheap now and a massive performance boost, a mellanox card, and I’m looking at CPUs but honestly it was the one thing I didn’t cheap on in the first place so still perfectly good.

    I reckon she’s got another decade in her at least, unless consumer grade quantum happens in that time.
