    How much RAM does your primary system have?

    I'm wondering how much RAM you guys have. I've had 64GB since about 2016 and stayed at 64GB up to my current Mac Studio. With 64GB, I manage to avoid swap most of the time.

    "Mini" form factor Dell/HP/Lenovo systems on Ebay

    I recently put together a hackintosh based around an HP ProDesk 400 G3. I picked up a barebones unit from eBay for $50 because I already had CPU, RAM, and storage. It is a really good system given its size and power consumption. The one I put together has an i7-7700T and performs very nicely...

    Do you need Windows anymore?

    Do you guys still need Windows? Ever since I got my Mac Studio, I haven't booted in to Windows for anything. Everything that I used to need Windows for, I can now do in macOS. About a week or two ago, I installed Windows in a virtual machine using UTM and I couldn't think of any use for it...

    GPU prices finally starting to fall

    About three weeks ago, I picked up an AsRock RX 6600 XT for $500 from Newegg and it has dropped to $470. This is great news. I'm very happy to see prices finally starting to drop from insane levels. Btw, the 6600 XTs are very much plug-n-play on hackintoshes. Just add the "agdpmod=pikera"...

    ASRock Deskmini 110 Is Garbage

    A few years ago, I picked up an ASRock Deskmini 110. It wasn't because I needed it, I just loved the form factor and its ability to house two SATA drives and an NVMe SSD.
