So true! I run VMS which gobble memory, so I need a lot! Thanks for the replies.

Yeah my bad, should have specified I was looking at a new PC Build, I think ASUS ROG Strix MB, Intel Core i9. Sounds dubious to me though!

Hi all: I was talking to a sales person at a custom builder today and they told me that systems with 128 GB RAM tend to be unstable, anyone know the validity of that statement? Thanks! John.

Thanks for the response. I build AI models for object detection, image analysis, etc. but all on Azure so i think the processsing is done in thw cloud, not on my desktop. I currently use a Surface book and it never chokes on the models, but it cannot run VMs, not enough disk or RAM. Are AMD and...

Hi all: I am thinking of building a new PC, but would rather avoid starting from zero. Does anyone know where I can buy a "barebones" system, with the case, power supply, Motherboard, and Processor pre-assembled?

Thanks!

Thanks very much for the reply. I mostly do software development and run VMs, so I really don't need the high-end gaming features, I chose that motherboard as it was "middle of the road" pricewise, and was used in a configurator for one of the online builders. For the VMs I really need as much...

Hello all: I am planning a new PC build with the ASUS ROG Strix Z690-F Gaming WiFi 6E LGA1700(Intel 12th Gen) ATX Gaming Motherboard. I plan to install 3 SAMSUNG 970 EVO Plus SSD 2TB - M.2 NVMe Interface Internal Solid State Drives, and am wondering how to choose a case that will work with this...
