I agree with the addendum. You say "I have a 2nd gen I3 laptop in the family with 16GB of ddr3l 12800 running without issue - at 10600 and all recognised - despite the laptop specs saying 8GB (2*4GB DDR3) max." I understand the i3 cpu will only run the 12800 at 10600 speed, but how does a 8gb...

Thank you much.

Looking for a crazy fast 500 gb NVme SSD to store the OS and a few files on this mobo: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/PRO-B660M-A-WIFI-DDR4/Specification Suggestions?

Looking for crazy fast RAM for this mobo. https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/PRO-B660M-A-WIFI-DDR4/Specification Suggestions?

https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/PRO-B660M-A-WIFI-DDR4/Specification Will this mobo support i7 or i9 as well? I think it will, just want to be sure. Seems like it has 4 slots to max out at 128 GB (4x16 GB). Is that correct? Thanks.

What is the best time of year to buy PC parts? Other than Black Friday I guess... Christmas sales? When new stuff comes out after January 1?

this 1 loox perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

USBs are on top of the case. Is it possible to get them in front? If I'm spending that much, I want to get what I really want.

I don't see front panel USB Ports on these cases. Am I missing them?

Thank you, but why do the pictures show 2 antennae screwed into the back if its internal wifi? Optional for better reception? Just trying to understand the newer technology. My really old PC has internal but no external.

What is the best Linux distro to use for a noob trying to learn Linux?

SWEET!!! MAKES SENSE!! THNX!

Why is a new Intel Core i5-12500 - Core i5 12th Gen Alder Lake 6-Core 3.0 GHz LGA 1700 65W Intel UHD Graphics 770 Desktop Processor running at 3.0 GHz when my 11 year old i3-2120 2 core, 4 thread runs at 3.30 GHz? I'm guessing that the number of cores/threads has something to do with it?

Can I get a mobo that has onboard wifi without requiring an external antenna? My PC from 2011 has internal wifi... Will this mobo have front USBs? I only recognize the rear ones in the photo of the back.
