Afaik 6th gen doesn’t support ddr4 memory

It’s clocked to a lower speed?

[candid verge]

Yeah, the board itself can only handle a 7th gen processor, so my next purchase it probably gonna have to be...

a new computer.

Yeah it looks like it's only pulling half a load (1800)

I could upgrade to 7th gen, but it'd still only be able to handle like 2300. I just need to build something else at this point.

Yep

you could probably snag a good 10th gen deal

I don't do a lot of gaming. Honestly. this is just a high-powered word processor/internet browser. I do a bit of Premiere/After Effects work on it too. I don't know if I need to go super hard.

You’d probably only need to upgrade ur motherboard and cpu (should you want an upgrade)

Stupid question: are there any ATX board hole configs that would fit in a Dell proprietary box like this?

I wanna keep this box (sentimental reasons)

I guess it never hurts to have two computers...

It doesn’t. This one could be used as a nas or plex server

[candid verge]

Funny you mention that, I'm actually ripping my entire DVD collection as we speak for a plex server.

That's actually a pretty good idea.
