I am guessing you have at least 16gb memory. What processor does the above computer use? An i7 is my guess.
Eh, I currently have 12GBs RAM on a 3+ y.o. I7 system. Next weekend I am likely upgrading to an AMD A10 7850 3.7 quad on the A88X platform with 16GB DDR3 2400 with dedicated video, everything OC-d to max. It’s on order and coming in next week.
Yes, the current system uses a 3 year old Intel an I7 quad overclocked to 3.9Ghz with an ASUS Sabertooth board running 12GB 1600 RAM also overclock to maximum board speeds. The problem with this system is the lack of SATA3 and some aging features. The board already lost its onboard sound and the Sabertooth is the last board for that version of I7 -it replaced a fried Gigabyte I7 board. So I’m stuck in an outdated I7 platform and don’t want to drop $600+ on an I5(K) CPU, board and RAM. So it’s EOL to me at 3+ years.
I also want to upgrade before the new AMD and Intel platforms come out which will not natively support Linux, only MS OSs (IMO hardware drivers + BIOS settings). There’s a run on the latest AMD platform currently. Prices are going up and supply is scarce. I had to buy the MSI mobo on Walmart.com. Amazon was out. Went with the MSI 8 SATA3 ATX ‘gaming’ board and trusting its Milspec hardware to make it past the No-Linux-hardware-support dustup.
