- Other Info
- My first Intel build from 2015 that has morphed into its present Frankenstein state. Still runs! Needs a new M.2 SSD, though, to be more useful than it already is. It's set up in the guest bedroom for our infrequent overnight visitors' use. I also use it in a VMware environment to try out new software before I load it onto my main PC, or to run applications that consume a lot of time and resources I don't want my main PC to interrupt while I'm busy with something else.
