So reading the internet https://linustechtips.com/topic/729232-guide-to-display-cables-adapters-v2/?output=DP&input=DVI I need a DP to DL-DVI adapter but links are dead years later and one of them listed problems with some specific monitors anyway... I picked up an Apple Cinema 30 to use which...

Does anyone know whether there are special features of the Dell or HP cards (like for the mentioned workstation Z440/Dell 5810 but I also might experiment it in yet even older systems like an HP420 and Dell 3600 just because I have a bunch of older hardware I snapped up to eventually do some...

I know there's universal ones advertised on amazon so I assume it shouldn't be hardware specific...? I know Dell/HP made specific ones back when this was a new thing but assumed they'd cost more just due to rarity and not because it's the only way to run them..

I would swear that I posted on this before, but searching my own name, old posts, and in general I can't seem to find it. :( After years of struggle I finally have some hardware that's no longer decrepit - Z4/Z6 workstations and m2 SSD's coming in the mail. However I will also be...

The Z6 came with a dual cpu setup which is one of the reasons that I got it. If I never do anything useful with the extra cores I might even part that out or sell that part of it while keeping the rest of it. Could you tell me about the thunderbolt card? Did it come with it when you got it...

Your advice being considered... I am not the expert here... I'm still trying to understand things better though since if it's viable it could be useful in about 3-4 different ways to me Help find MI50 32G vbios flash to Radeon V420 / VII / VII Pro meaning if it didn't work for one purpose I...

So not officially supported... yet the W6800 lists as supported so maybe that's how other people are using it after crossflashing the BIOS?

USA side. I'm just assuming things will cost around $75/terabyte give or take, it shouldn't cost twice that for slightly more performance. I wasn't sure if I could afford 4tb drives for everything. Longevity matters (though not to a twice the price level) though usually drives seem to...

Guess I got too late to the party with how prices have gone to the sky. :- P I researched some in the past but was not able to buy then and thought prices would be stable. I need to buy maybe 4 or 5 m2 SSD drives. They will be for a pcie 3.0 systems - with a decent chance of migrating to...

Mine is a G4. I guess my top questions are, do you know if there are different revisions of motherboard which in any way affect compatibility with cpu/mem/etc? It seems older HP's (z440 I think) had v1 and v2 motherboards, and someone suggested that may be the case for Z4 but I can't verify...

So a year back i'd posted about Tesla M40 stuff because I also wanted a cheap high vram gpu but people said it was a bad idea/too old and then prices skyrocketing making it pointless. A new card has showed up on my radar and i'm wondering if people who know better than me can help me get up to...

Well i'm wondering could I replace a mainboard with the same identical type of mainboard (not going to a different computer, just a replacement New Old Stock Z4 board) if it ever burns out... is the serial number of the mainboard unique to just the type of mainboard or as unique as the VIN...

I just find it crazy how EVERYTHING across the board seems to have taken a jump instead of just the latest and I was curious if people better informed than me had interesting articles to share on the issue. PC DRAM and GPU VRAM prices expected to see declines in early 2025 A year ago it looked...

So i've been mentally unplugged for awhile/not watching markets or news or even ebay because it seemed like a distraction while I was saving up to get some newer hardware which I finally lucked upon/a couple of Z4 workstations. Then I start searching around ebay and such for the upgrades I once...

Well that part seems verified correct, I didn't have to reinstall, putting in the key it recognized linked to the hardware DID indeed software upgrade or change it into a win11 for workstation acknowledged install and is now linked to the microsoft account as valid, so that's good. I'm assuming...

Well the exact verbiage from the troubleshooter says "we found a Windows 11 Pro for Workstations digital license for this device running Windows 11 Pro. To activate using this digital license, select upgrade your edition of Windows." That sounds promising and all, but I didn't know if the...

So i've finally entered the 'closer to modern' era having gotten a couple used workstations that aren't from decrepit past eras. :) And i'm considering going back for another Z4 maybe in a few days depending what I find out. First computer is an HP Z4 G4 workstation from 2019, had a 4 core...

So I recently bought two used computers that came with an installed but not yet set up windows 11 on them from a computer recycler. To be clear this recycler sells 90% of it's stuff with linux on it after wiping drives/they arent pirating, as near as I can tell they ONLY resell a computer with...

Currently my uses are pretty simple... I don't need to run 128 Epyc cores on a decade old platform sucking 1000 watts at low load for any of my use. :) I'm currently planning a used skylake era (i call that anything 6th to 10th gen) desktop for my fairly minimal home needs of plex...
