It would be interesting if it allowed to use the cache as ram and could boot without any sticks on the motherboard.

Several processors support this by effectively locking cache lines. At the low end, it allows a handful of fast interrupt routines without dedicated TCM. At the high end, it allows boot ROMs to negotiate DRAM links in software, avoiding both the catch 22 and complex hardware negotiation.

Instead of a cache you could put down an SRAM buffer, it would be more efficient than a cache and just as fast. And addressable. Interesting idea.

Very similar config, but I bought a second pair of ram. Running 4 sticks at 3600. Also, the LAN port of the motherboard stopped working after a week, so I had to buy an Ethernet card

Ouch, were you not willing to RMA for that ethernet port? I wouldn't be too pleased after only a week if parts of the board stopped working.

I don't really want to run my RAM that slow which is why I'll probably stick with two sticks.


My AI generator loves to write ergo, concordantly, and vis-a-vis.


I wish they added Intel MacBooks with eGPU and a top notch Mac Pro with dual GPUs.


Would rather wait for the polish cloth pro


Polish cloth max will double the cleaning capability with 2x size, at $29.99, with unprecedented industrial leading price-to-area ratio.
