when I categorize my "workstation" as such it rates as an i5 battleship but the 1333 ram speed gets it rated as a log or turd for a game box so it all depends on which class you rate your stuff in if you a baseline I was checking if I could bitmine (ALL render time on the machine and NO creative input with some financial compensation and No pictures from the process) I "need" too many parts to make it work on my 10 year old intel chips I had an AMD once

A word is not the same with one writer as with another. One tears it from his guts. The other pulls it out of his overcoat pocket
Charles Péguy

Walter Savage Landor
