    About RAMDisk Usage

    Thanks, but it's a lot of ram to buy in your scenario and it's very expensive.

    Asus Z170 Pro Gaming vs Gigabyte H170 D3HP

    I have been told by many accounts how modern Skylake processors can benefit from fast memory so I have a question about which chipset to go with. By even more accounts, I am told to buy a Z170 motherboard only if I were to overclock. Is it really that inappropriate to combine i5-6500 with Asus...

    So if I have no needs for any of these, I don't need one, right? Thanks.

    How PCIE lanes share resources

    Ok, I have a rather complicated issue with PCIE lanes. For reference, the motherboard in question is ASRock Z170 Fatal1ty Gaming K6. ASRock > Fatal1ty Z170 Gaming K6 I can be wrong so feel free to correct me. I read that Z170 motherboards have a total of 42 lanes, 16 of which are directly...

    Nvidia Sli and AMD Crossfire & Motherboard comp

    I didn't know that the killer mic is Wi-Fi. I thought it only supports Ethernet?

    About RAMDisk Usage

    I remember when SSDs weren't so relatively inexpensive, people used to talk about the benefit of RAMDisk, especially under Windows 7 (or if they use Photoshop.) I have never done it myself, but I was wondering if RAMDisk is still so useful if we only use SSDs and in Windows 10? Are there any...

    SLC vs MLC SSDs

    I used to think high-end, enterprise-level SSDs are made from SLC instead of MLC, because SLC offers greater endurance. Why then does Intel 750 use MLC? Is my understanding that SLC offers greater endurance wrong? Thanks.

    GDDR vs DDR vs SSD

    I was reviewing technical details of some motherboards and Nvidia graphic cards, and a couple of questions stuck me. (1) In my experience with system memory, the CPU has always been faster than RAM, much faster actually (if one could actually simply compare the clock speed of the CPU and...

    Nvidia Sli and AMD Crossfire & Motherboard comp

    Deciding between Asus Z170 Pro Gaming and ASRock Z170 Gaming K6, and according to the specs, Z170 PRO GAMING - Specifications and ASRock > Fatal1ty Z170 Gaming K6 Both support Nvidia Sli and AMD Crossfire. I have two dumb questions about these boards. One, is it possible or at least not...

    Dual-core versus Quad-core

    Because I came across this, "See the i5 and the i7 are the same chips. The i5 is the lower binned chip with 2 mb L3 cache disabled and hyperthreading disabled. " But the i3 is a different chip. It is the same chip as the Pentiums and the Celeron. It is a higher binned chip which unlike Pentium...

    Dual-core versus Quad-core

    I remember in some iterations of Windows one can disable multi core booting, and it led me to ask a rather unusual, probably dumb, question: why can't you buy an Intel Core i3/i5 processor and enable its Core i7 features? I don't think it's the two-core versus quad-core difference, correct...
