Myself I read it three times trying to figure out what it was referring to.

Fixed it... and I checked the order, too, just in case. All good.

Yup - caught me napping.  Let's make that GB and call it good...

I seem to remember a time when you could buy 64 MB sticks, but I doubt they are available today off the shelf! And if they were, they should have been so cheap that the price would have triggered you as being wrong.

But surely 640k is enough? 
|
|
|
|

Wasteful! My Altair 8800 managed just fine with 16k. Who could possibly need more than say, 64k?

Congrats on the new system.
Always nice when it's paid for/free!

I recommend you to go with more drives. One M.2 SSD for System, a normal SSD for working data and a HDD for long time storage.
With current prices... that should be quite affordable.

I agree, but I'm waiting to get the basic system integrated, then I'll start adding stuff. It's hard to tell from ads what will fit. I did get a flyer from Newegg today offering a 18TB WD Gold HDD for $299. That's incredibly cheap; I paid more than that for the external drive I bought for my Apple IIc! I'm also considering flushing the old system and using it for network storage. IIRC, I built it with 3x SATA drives attached to a RAID controller. That should do nicely.

Pardon my French, but F***, how the world has changed! At the time of those 64 MB memory cards such a drive could not have been bought even if you had a billion dollars burning a hole in your pocket.

I agree with Nelek. A larger HHD as your D drive to hold working data, etc.
Drive C (SSD) would be dedicated to OS.

I like ASUS a lot. My machine at home is an ASUS- love it.

With your set up you are good to go with AutoCAD and ArcGIS. I have i9-9900 @ 3.1 GHz with Intel with UHD graphics (not as powerful as your RTX 3060) and can run AutoCAD, Rhino 3D, and a number games just fine.

Roger, you saying you "pulled the trigger" makes some of us look for a situation on CNN where a team of a dozen active shooters is taken down by one man with a single extra magazine.

I did mention a dozen assailants, and I assumed a 1911 with 8 rounds per mag. That gives you a whole 4 rounds left over for next time.

I prefer the Browning Hi Power, with 13 rounds, but it's kinda hard to carry concealed. Worst case, if I can get a few of them to stand in a line, the Browning BAR in .30-06 should be able to manage 4 at a time, with one spare shot left in the magazine.

What is a couple of calls ?
In a closed society where everybody's guilty, the only crime is getting caught. In a world of thieves, the only final sin is stupidity. - Hunter S Thompson - RIP

A Call is a type of security; when you buy a call, it gives you the right to buy 100 shares of a stock at a fixed price, within a specified time frame. For instance, last week I bought 2 calls on SMCI (Supermicro) company at $240 with an expiration date of Sept 15th. That gave me the right to buy 2x 100 shares of SMCI at $240 per share, and I'm free to exercise that right anytime before Sept 15. Those two calls cost me $30.50 per share, or $6700 for both. Yesterday the value of those calls rose to 44.75 per share, or $8950. When I sold them, I made $2250 net profit, which isn't bad for 1 week.
Calls and Puts (the right to sell 100 shares) are called Options, and they can be risky. But done right, following certain rules, they can be low risk, high profit trades.

Neither, just a prudent investor who has learned how to put odds in his favor.

That i9 is a monster. I have one in my laptop and it beats my desktop CPU at the same power draw. Have to liquid cool it really on desktop (I hope you are doing that) which is why I went with the i5-13600K (a nasty little sleeper chip whose single core performance rivals your chip but can be cooled on air)
Based on brand and chipset I have pretty much the same mobo as you. ASUS ROG Strix G
There's smoke in my iris
But I painted a sunny day on the insides of my eyelids
So I'm ready now (What you ready for?)
I'm ready for life in this city
And my wings have grown almost enough to lift me
