With the SOTW gone, I saw some politiking taking place which brought a Garth Brooks song to my attention. I've never cared for his style of music, but I must say this is good (well, the lyrics are phenomenal - the rest sounds typical of that style to me): We Shall Be Free - Garth Brooks

Sander Rossel used to post a Song Of The Week every Friday. Then he went and got a busy life, so he doesn't post them any more.

After fighting with this 10 yo PC that is cluttered and balky, and can't run Win 11, I finally bought the components last night for its replacement. I'm building it on an ASUS MB - my first from that company - with the Z690 chipset. The brains will be supplied by a Core i9 12900KF CPU running at 3.2 GHz (that boggles the mind, as my first CPU ran at an impressive 1 MHz!). For memory I'm settling for a mere 64 GB of DDR5 RAM with a 1TB SSD. Graphics will be provided by a GeForce RTX 3060 Ti card from ASUS.
Hopefully this will be able to run AutoCAD and ESRI ArcGIS with too much lag. The best part is that, a couple of calls I was holding leapt up in price this morning by enough to more than pay for the new system, so I sold them!
Happy Friday! ![Beer | [beer]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/beer.gif) !

That typo made me laugh! Windows wouldn't even boot with that! Happy weekend to you, too! ![Beer | [beer]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/beer.gif)

Myself I read it three times trying to figure out what it was referring to.

Fixed it... and I checked the order, too, just in case. All good.

Yup - caught me napping.  Let's make that GB and call it good...

I seem to remember a time when you could buy 64 MB sticks, but I doubt they are available today off the shelf! And if they were, they should have been so cheap that the price would have triggered you as being wrong.
|
|
|
|
|
But surely 640k is enough? 
|
|
|
|
|
Wasteful! My Altair 8800 managed just fine with 16k. Who could possibly need more than say, 64k?

Congrats on the new system.
Always nice when it's paid for/free!

I recommend you to go with more drives. One M.2 SSD for System, a normal SSD for working data and a HDD for long time storage.
With current prices... that should be quite affordable.
M.D.V. 
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

I agree, but I'm waiting to get the basic system integrated, then I'll start adding stuff. It's hard to tell from ads what will fit. I did get a flyer from Newegg today offering a 18TB WD Gold HDD for $299. That's incredibly cheap; I paid more than that for the external drive I bought for my Apple IIc! I'm also considering flushing the old system and using it for network storage. IIRC, I built it with 3x SATA drives attached to a RAID controller. That should do nicely.

Pardon my French, but F***, how the world has changed! At the time of those 64 MB memory cards such a drive could not have been bought even if you had a billion dollars burning a hole in your pocket.

I agree with Nelek. A larger HHD as your D drive to hold working data, etc.
Drive C (SSD) would be dedicated to OS.
