Just saw this now, I wanted to switch but couldn't get my head around it and what I was used to.

my hp z210 came with 8gb ecc mem, I had I believe it's ddr3 24gb was kind of upset that the hp site said max 16gb (that's not the case) the 24gb ddr3 worked anyway. (hopefully the ram issue helps someone else) yes the mobo died a few months after so that's a downside of used equipment, but the replacement mobo was $30 + an extra $30 in case it happened again. I put a 1050 ti pci-e powered for budget gaming since I'm not made of money, works well and can multitask like crazy. I believe my e3-1270v1 3.4ghz is comparable to my old i5-2500k without the oc capability

this thread might be dead now but can someone please explain why an FPGA is such a big deal, I always see them mentioned but just don't have an idea of what they can be made into? Can anyone give project ideas of why it would be better to use on FPGA? (not sarcasm, I'm genuinely curious)

I'm on colemak and I am typing this by voice because of carpal tunnel I doubt any relation just poor posture, but I cannot type on qwerty anymore. I forced myself to learn colemak in about three months by having instant message conversations, it was a pain but it worked well I also used the provided application on Windows (typefaster)
