New rig

Since I came back (Tuesday last week) I have been ordering and building a new rig. I somehow made a mistake when ordering and instead of 64GB DDR4 I have ended up with 128GB.

The theory is that too much memory (even fast) will slow down the system. I'll be able to test that one within a week, still waiting for parts.

Also, I have selected an almost full M2 and SSD drive system but for one that is pure storage...

My hope is that this rig will be as powerful as my laptop (5* L2, SDD and 32GB). Both are i7 6 cores.

Very cool. I'm looking forward to you posting a report on how this works out.

That should blow your laptop away. I never heard of more memory slowing a computer down, however you won't use all that memory unless you are working with big video and image files. I hope you added a couple of 1080gtx video cards in SLI mode. I'm waiting for the 18 core I9 to come out in October before I build my next rig. Have fun!!

The M2 was a good idea, I have them in both my laptop and my desktop. Super fast start up times! The laptop will start up in about 6 seconds, the desktop takes about 15 seconds. Love it...

I recently saw where there is, I believe, an add on attachment that will allow you to connect 8 m.2 drives. Imagine 8tb or possibly more. wow!
