It's alive! I actually did a rebuild of my main machine at the end of last year (i8700k, Asus Z370-Prime, GTX 1080 SC) and learned the hard way about DDR4 incompatibilities when filling all four RAM slots.
BTW, if you haven't seen it yet, this is a great site for comparing various builds: https://www.userbenchmark.com But when it came to my kids' gaming machines, I just bought a pair of Dell Inspiron desktops because they were the same price as what I could have built myself and just less hassle. I have found myself getting more into networking gear. I recently rebuild my home network using Unifi gear from Ubiquity (including switches, APs, and POE cameras) and that has proven to be very rewarding. The gear is much more customization and powerful than most consumer networking gear. --------- Brian On Fri, Aug 9, 2019 at 3:12 AM Tim Lider <619be...@gmail.com> wrote: > I've been a part of the list since 95 or 96.
