It’s for scientific computing where I use every possible core at 100% for simulations that take hours and require at least 256GB ram. Well, if Intel had something coming in 6 months that will beat threadripper I won’t receive until at least 4 months from now, it seems worth some consideration...

I could buy a Threadripper system now and wait 4 months for delivery or I could maybe wait a bit and see if something better comes out not a whole lot later. Does anyone know what Intel might have on the horizon to compete with Threadripper and what the expected wait might be for actually...

Those are single DIMs and damn expensive. I guess there is no need to buy them in matching kits? Looks like 256 may be the only thing I can afford.

I am thinking of buying a Threadripper 5995X Lenovo P620 with at least 256GB RAM. Could anyone recommend a memory kit for such a machine? It’s not easy to find such large memory kits.

Maybe Asus et al don't give a damn what we think is silly and/or only OEMs will be able to get the CPUs for the first few months. No?

I have some Airpod Pros that I use with my iPhone and iPad where the experience is great because they always seem to automatically be paired. I guess that is because Apple devices all have a special pairing chip. Could anyone recommend a way to have wireless headphones always be paired to a...

Are the necessary motherboards usually available out of the gate or is there typically a long wait before you can get everything necessary to build a system?

Sorry for the basic question, but I am in the market for a powerful workstation. Excited that an updated Threadripper generation appears to be coming soon. However, could anyone clarify for me whether or not this CPU will require a new generation of motherboards as well? I see it looks like...

Thanks for the advice and warning on being careful with security. The "office" is me in coworking space rather than an employer. I guess I would use OneDrive or Dropbox to transfer files between the two machines? Does it cost extra money to use Remote Desktop? My current machine is Windows...

I am thinking of building a Threadripper machine with some GPUs for rendering. But I often need to render both at home and at my office elsewhere. Can anyone tell me about how easy it is to use Remote Desktop for the purpose of being able to use a powerful machine at two different places...

Thank you for the help. Well, I don't think Quadro is necessary and Keyshot only cares about Cuda cores, not whether or not the card is Quadro. The budget is flexible, though I want to stay below the point of serious demising returns (for example getting 3080 rather than 3090 card). That page...

This is the scientific software. It's very multithreaded and doesn't use GPU much (only for visualization, which is secondary). I don't know how much memory bandwidth matters, though I am guessing it does matter since the software does use a lot of memory? Keyshot, the other software, cares...

I need to get the fastest possible machine for use with just two softwares: one is Keyshot (so I'd like a GeForce 3080) and the other is a scientific software that I need 128 GB RAM for (don't ask). I thought the Corsair One systems look pretty nice for this purpose. I'm not going to be doing...

I would never get any Lacie product because they used Apple products in this ad.

Does the "toggle-mode" make it cheaper? Why is there no mention of price?
