My opinions only... If you're patient, you can sometimes get a W-3235 - non-QS, Mac Pro 2019 processor pulls - for $250 or less. I've read that AutoCAD doesn't really use multi-processor so much - so spend the $'s somewhere else (e.g. GPU). Check passmark for "Single Thread Rating". Also, your...

4) I've kept up and haven't noticed any large difference in the BIOSes. It's possible that there are things on the Extended and not the Slim that have changed, or that 32GB (2x16GB) memory config. have changed, but I haven't seen any - I'm using Slims with 4GB to 16GB (2x8GB) memory. 5) Don't...

1) As far as I know you can use both. You have to select (or set) the right path in UEFI bios, maybe setup a common ESP partition. Both the SATA drive and the EMMC (if present) are available at the same time. 2) I did this a little while ago - this is what I remember (which is quit foggy): It...

Regarding the Dell Wyse 5070, over the past few years I've successfully used these M.2 A+E 2230 Cards: Commell M2-210 : Intel I210-AT 1GB adapter. There is a newer M2-225 2.5GB adapter, but I have not tried it. DF Robot FIT0798 / Winyao 8111-M2-C : Realtek RTL8111F 1G adapter. Many generic...

Might be that there's an option for PXE boot or boot ROM or something - it might need to be disabled. Or change the boot order. Maybe poke around the BIOS some more. The wyse onboard NICs all seem to be realtek. I've seen people adding realtek mini pcie to some of those older machines -...

If its like some other Dells did you enable wireless lan in the BIOS? Also, double check to see if the chip is actually Intel and not realtek. If it's realtek then you may have to load the manufacturer driver (realtek plugin on opnsense). Finally boot at Linux live distro. and check lspci to...

Here's another useful review - seems like the Broadcom chips like the ones as FS, etc. are what you want for distance: https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/RLHW2OL4I1QZP/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_viewpnt?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B089D1ZYCJ#RLHW2OL4I1QZP

For crosstalk that is - same speed of dataflow on all wires, no shielding on CAT6, and presumably overlapping inside a box or spool.

I happened to watch this video a few days ago that specifically mentions testing distance: Tested one transceiver with 90+ m of CAT6 in a box so that would seem to be a bad setup. Seems hit and miss - but there's chance!

Could try: nvme id-ns -H /dev/nvme0n1 to see what it says about the created namespace at the nvme level.

I have a 1TB P4511 NVME M.2 running VCV10384 (Solidigm says this is the latest): 16:00.0 Non-Volatile memory controller: Intel Corporation NVMe Datacenter SSD [3DNAND, Beta Rock Controller] (prog-if 02 [NVM Express]) Subsystem: Intel Corporation NVMe Datacenter SSD [3DNAND] SE M.2 (P4511)...

I've always wondered about that. My opinion is that it's so you can go x16 instead of x8 with an adapter, but I've never found the adapter.

Solarflare's main claim to fame is in enabling low-latency networking applications. They are also transceiver agnostic (like Mellanox). Other than that, it's probably personal preference and pricing.

Found this item - listed by pcb id SF20-050021 / regulatory number SR220 - from UK ebay, currently $US 75 + $25 Shipping OBO. I think this is an X2522-10G card, not the 10G/25G SFP28 version. It's still at least 1/2 to 1/3 ebay price even with UK->US shipping. I like the Solarflare cards for...

Factory shipped part numbers - at least some - with specs (PA numbers are laptop equvalents): 130W (PA-13: 19.5V @ 6.70A) - 063P9N (with Extended) 90W (PA-10: 19.5V @ 4.62A) - 06KXKH (optional) 65W (PA-12: 19.5V @ 3.34A) - 06TM1C (with Slim) Can't answer your other questions -...
