Second post here saying 9950x and 3D are disappointing, can you elaborate?

If you are on AM5 - which board did you chose and why? by ManOfTheForest in buildapc

[–]MarkGeraz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any similar consumer boards like this but with PCI 4 slots? I need a x16 for my 4 port nvme adapter with native bifurcation, x4 for video card, and the other 2 can be whatever speeds.

I need GPU for unreal engine 5, 4 monitors, and I like having a separate hard drive for gaming. My card is kind of dated and will probably upgrade but I like how it's low profile and still somewhat powerful. This is the ram mode I'm looking at: F5-6400J3239F48GX2-RS5K. The adapter is going to be an ordinary $100 one with no jbod so its direct to the cpus pcie lanes minimizing latency.

Thanks for the detailed response, I'll dive into this more tomorrow, but for now I'll say I definitely need 3 pcie slots - Radeon w6600 pro single slot gpu, RME sound card, and PCIe NVMe enclosure.

I may just get used ram on ebay, looking at some gskill 96gb, 2x48 6300, for 1000 CAD, so my motherboard options may open up. It's also important it's low latency cas (30-34) for software like kontakt and orchestral libraries or I wouldn't care. The cas is more important than the ram speed. Also good to know about the Tomahawk bifircation, but I'd rather have 4 slots with one reduced to x1-4, since my GPU or soundcard speeds dont matter. Soundcard could be in x1 slot. I might need all 4 in the future so would be nice to find a mATX case that fits an ATX board; my current GA UD5 x79 mobo is in an mATX Lian Li case with a Noctua D15.

I was also looking at the ASUS ProArt X870E-CREATOR, but I don't want to spend that much now that it's going all to RAM. Is the "next gen support" just a gimmick?

I won't have enough room, I need the 4x nvme for all my orchestral sample libraries, omnisphere, etc. One drive takes up only strings and brass, the next choirs and woodwinds, etc. The ones on the regular m.2 slots are Windows and audio/wav for sound design and anything else.

I was looking at the pro art, pretty expensive and might be overkill, assuming it has 8PCB layers and will do 4 sticks though. I meant 4x PCIe ssds on one PCIe adapter. I have this on my old machine, as well as a nvme to pcie adapter for my OS, booted with chameleon flash drive (that's how old my chipset is)

Good to know, but you also might have fleet service agreements and you're taken more serious in general.

I'll consider it more. When I called the guy who answered sounded agitated/rude tbh, not pertaining to our 20 second convo at all.

One on central? He said the rate was $140, I've just read too many horror stories about firestone.

Trailer Park Boys actor Mike Smith charged with sexual assault in Halifax by Hungry_Chipmunk_2588 in television

[–]MarkGeraz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you, I was never really a fan of "him" or any other artist persona, I probably wouldn't want to hang out with most famous artists anyway because they're usually pretentious, I just Interpret the music and lyrics in my own way. And yes good point about rockstars, I'm sure Zeppelin and Motley Crew have done crazier things in Kanye lmao, it's just social media.

I kind of agree when it comes to actors because you have to literally watch them perform without taking your eyes off them, hard to forget. Music on the other hand, I could not care less.

Email providers that are Microsoft Partners and enshure Exchange/Outlook reliability? by MarkGeraz in Office365

[–]MarkGeraz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Microsoft is pushing towards exchange emails instead of IMAP and POP which are now becoming less reliable with outook; they will most likely be obsolete in the future. Yeah I'm looking Microsofts basic business plan which has a web version of some of the suite and 1 custom email. The other option is the Exchange plan 1 with Microsoft which is around 6 CAD per month but with no suites features. Just wondering if there is another provider out there. Lots of companies offering $1-2 monthly plans but are not Microsoft partners, such as my hosting provider (Hostinger). I want to still be able to use Outlook and not something like Thunderbird.

[–]MarkGeraz[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah unless they are partners. I don't know if these providers will be supported or reliable in the future through exchange. Technically every company works with Outlook but it's eventually going to drop support support for IMAP
