    this is true. The numbers were difficult to understand (obfuscated) and tiny for a the big swinging dick you claim to be.

    Bought a fancy new Dell and it sucks

    i bought a 32gb dimm on amazon for $99. They say its compatible. I have bad luck on these things. So a side note on ram. One of the reason Apple has been such a successful company is that they exert enormous pricing power in the Nand memory market. In 2010 they were the largest buyer of Nand...

    Bought a fancy new Dell and it sucks

    it can be a complete beast if you want it. 8 slots for raid drives, a terabyte of ram. There’s like 10 fans in the box. I figured it should be able to run my excel pretty well. From what I can tell there’s really only a few Params to determine the right ram. Speed 4800, rdimm (whatever this...

    Bought a fancy new Dell and it sucks

    thanks. I was trying to figure that out. I either have 8 slots or 16 and right now have only 1 slot filled. (That’s what she said)

    Bought a fancy new Dell and it sucks

    thanks. I think i will get a second 32gb dimm so i will have dual channel memory. Maybe that's why the 1 dimm was cheaper than the 2. It was weird and I thought i spotted a relative value trade :). Since the window settings, i've had no problems at all.

    btw - i learned something else new today: GPEDIT allows you to customize all sorts of things in windows that aren't obvious. Like getting rid of the stupid news articles in the start menu.

    i looked into it. i read the help from microsoft. i didn't feel comfortable switching the value. those are things that you forget to undo later if there's a problem.

    Bought a fancy new Dell and it sucks

    Computer doesn't come with a wifi card so thats a non issue. So far my thinking is that it was the power setting. I'm going to check the bios this evening to see if they've underclocked the ram.

    Bought a fancy new Dell and it sucks

    I have not checked the bios but there was a bios update i had to install. Win 11. The computer is running well now (but i said that at 8am too and at 10am i almost took a hammer to it).

    Bought a fancy new Dell and it sucks

    By the specs it is a lot faster. (orders of magnitude). In practice, it's not materially faster other than my risk is calculating faster in excel (2 secs vs 20 secs). I bought it because i needed to separate my trading PC from my day job PC. Too much staring at the markets.
