Its not an equally slow CPU. These boards support Xeon CPUs that first launched 11 years after DDR3.

The implication is that there are users needing large RAM footprints that aren’t CPU bound. The hit in performance on the RAM isn’t significant enough to justify spending orders of magnitude more for modern DDR5 which is in short supply.

In computing history there’s precedent for this. Amiga computers had a small amount of “Fast RAM” which was extremely expensive, but the CPU could address a second bank of “Chip RAM” which was significantly slower but much much cheaper.

We could see this idea return in modern computers.

Woah there buddy, the start of the line for the 5 1/4" floppy is back there. No cutting.

I’m not sure you’re caught up to current events. DDR3, from 2007, is making a comeback because of supply shortages of newer RAM. New modern motherboards are being manufactured that can take this old RAM because its available and still cheap enough.

4116s are DIPs. I’d de desolder those myself for installation into my Intel 8088 luggable.

He also needs that revenue to personally enrich himself from taxpayer money. He gave himself $10 billion of taxpayer money for creating his Board of “peace”.

The population of the USA as of Feb 2026 is 342.3 million people. This means that trump personally took $29.21 from every single American living today (including newborn children and aging senior citizens) and put that money in his personal bank account.

Its things like this that I cannot understand how poverty stricken trump supporters are still okay with him and his actions.

…yes but what about the second play through. There’s changes to the game after you’ve beaten it once?

What is your favorite Zelda memory?

Drawing in the missing map squares from the published map that came with the game:

What I’m surprised hasn’t happened yet is RAM ICs being recycled at the retail level. As in, you could bring in an old laptop or phone with 32GB of soldered RAM and it would be desoldered and sold for cash or possibly even soldered into a new device you buy from that retailer.

I wonder how close we are to that business model arriving.

Pro America programming:

Free and fair elections are a cornerstone of our nation. Acting to disenfranchise citizens from voting with plans from our current administration of jackbooted paramilitary thugs at polling places is a threat to America.

There are limits to appeals. Each appeal up the chain requires that court to agree to hear the challenge of the appeal. Depending on the jurisdicion, I think the limit would be only 3 or 4 appeals with that last one being the Supreme Court of the United States. If the next higher court declines to hear the appeal, the lower courts ruling stands.

Of course he will. That new approach will be challenged in court, but will take another 12-18 months for there to be a ruling against it, meanwhile trump will keep using tariffs against our friends and allies further alienating and isolating the United State globally.
