That's my idea of making a quick, healthy, stir-fry, but you don't need to go electric for that, I've been using my wok on a gas hob for ages. Stir fries are quick, delicious, pretty healthy (*depending on your ingredients) and filling. My cooking skills are : Laziness If I can lob food in and come back when the timer goes I'm keen |

Heretofore known as the 'lob' method.

Are you sure you haven't bought a rendered image?  |

A 2TB NVMe SSD and 16GB RAM - it seems I'm about to build another music server.
It's astonishing when I look at a tiny NVMe drive and then a 4TB mechanical hard drive and then a five foot high, 2 deep stack of boxes in my storage unit, that all contain the same thing - my music library.
But if I just had a streamer, I wouldn't need any of those - maybe I'm doing this wrong!

Should have bought a wireless!  What, to go with my gramophone? I must admit I did chuckle a bit when I read that one of the improvements over the previous model was a " faster processor". |

Make yourself feel better. This beast only had a capacity of 5MB, or one single very short music track.  |

Haha, that does make me feel better  My NVMe drive just dropped through the letter box - amazing really, I'll have over 4,000 lossless albums on something way smaller and lighter than a 45RPM single! |

I'm building a new pc for the new mastering software I have, this time is about BIG processing, memory, swap files and raw power. 128G ram (min) G.Skil trident 0, two smasung latest gen 1tB M2 memoery one for the cut down W10pro & mastering software. The other for swap files. 8tB of 870QVO Sammy SSD. Processor I9 13900K needs lots of cores and many, many threads Platimum 850 atx, very basic graphics and sound, nice nf-p12-redux-1300 for cooling. This time is just sheer number crunching for the audio files. Should have it built by next Friday. Not my usual build!

Nice one Tony, it's quite amazing really where technology is at the moment, not just with computers and file based audio on a personal level, but also how the audio industry has gone with it in response to public acceptance. Hard to tell who the major driving force is behind that, the audio industry or the public? I suspect it's neither and mostly down to Spotify as they changed the playing field quite substantially IMO. Exciting times though.

I do have the option for the AMD 32 thread MB 7900 thingy the chap mentioned , if they can obtain one?, though even for me £700+ on an MB I consider wrong as I'm no gamer Suspect that 88 core processor is going to be a couple of K on its own
Should say it will be just for file mastering and video editing
Now if it were a scope probe or new carbon fibre filiment for the 3D printer, hummmmmmmmmmmmmmm
As they say horses for coarses.
Note to shelf, must look at less left field options on extracting more SQ, I need more gaussian anti emmission paint & tin foil hats would save my sanity of late for sure!

Humm £7K on the epyc alone, no that half way to a fully isoated 1Ghz hi side fully optically isolated probe lol
Thats overkill for my application, if I was working on 3D rendering animation then sure I can see that being a god send, but for that possibnly £15K build with the ram and storage required psu collers etc, tahts would be just over half way for the probe and tips no competition!

Fair enough, I was just offering it as an option I bought three new Dell host servers for our work network, each with 16-core AMD Epyc processors and 256GB RAM. We have 40 VM servers running on them and boy do they shift the workload. I've never worked with such fast machines. Goodness knows what that 64-core beast can do! |

Big AMD fan here, used them for years, more bang for your buck in my experience. But I always try to do things on the cheap if I can. They certainly don't lack performance.

They are ridiclious fast anything server or workstation wise I have been informed nothing out there comes close currently, for the use of this PC a nice spec server would be a waste of set up, I would never get even remotely close to using its real potential in this application unless you were running a dedcicated high end recording/mastering suite all the time. Stunning performance Martin no question, but geninelly OTT for its intented purpose and the funds involved could go to other investible areas of the business. Nice thought though Settled on Ryzen 9 7950x/PRO X670-P Mobo/Trident Z5 Neo DDR5-6000 128GB ram/SS980Pro M2 drives 1TB each one of the os & just 40GB of programes, one 8Tb SS 870 QVO/Platinum 850 ATX. |

You should like that a lot. I have a Ryzen 5 6-core beastie with Samsung 980 Pro M.2 SSD in a small case and it goes like the proverbial merde off a digging device.

Snap, an AMD Ryzen 5 5600X with the same Samsung SSD here - bloody brilliant. I absolutely love NVMe drives . . . they almost get me chimpy!
