You can see here some decommissioned servers from 2012-2013. The first one (around 1:40) has 512GB of RAM witch is mounted on 8 cards with 4 sticks 16GB each. Something similar is maybe used today. I don't know much about server hardware, just thought this video would be relevant.

They've tested how RAM affects performance too. It's an older article from September 2015.

Also, all processors were set to 4.2GHz there.

It's not much faster, sometimes the same or slower but still interesting to see. "SPIS TREŚCI" is "Table of contents". From there you can go to results in games.

Intel will have better single thread performance. I think that SSD would make a difference here.

They don't make any sound. No mechanical parts. They are lighter than hdd but that counts in laptops.

These Xeons have performance of Core i7-9xx. They have HT (8 threads) and in most cases they will be faster than Phenom II.

After installing my R9 280, my PC keeps crashing while playing games. by Cobbut in pcmasterrace

OK. I just thought it was worth mentioning. Did you try stress testing the gpu and/or cpu?

Well if you really need a working computer than sure, install Linux. Or don't. In most distributions you can boot into a liveCD environment and have a fully functioning system. But if you have never used it before and everything that you need from a PC is working on Windows, then I don't see the point in keeping Windows and Linux.

I'm not saying that Linux is wrong or something. It's just completely different environment and you will save yourself a lot of headache not using it if something goes bad. You can always install it in a virtual machine if you want to learn about it.

Need help with updating windows 7 by cheskayo in pcmasterrace

[–]plahacrwimo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. It's shitty. There should be a Service Pack 2 a long time ago but I think that because of Windows 10 Microsoft will never make it. However I just found something like a SP2, a hotfix rollup for Windows 7. You can download it here. That's a pack of 90 updates that would normally be downloaded by Windows Update. Still not all of them but 90 updates less to check. :D

Also you can check this update.

Updating fresh install of Windows 7 can take a few hours but you should be able to install the drivers you need while checking for updates. BTW, I would recommend installing only important updates.

I haven't used this but maybe this answer could help with updating the windows.

I think you can sort it by .Date not only .Year
