goodness thats darn nice pc.
oh gosh, now ya got me rethinking my pc strategy. lol.
cos ive been looking heaviliy at refurb beasts like this, stuffed with ssd's,
cos ssd's are cheap now.

and the hp z workstations have a great rep. same with lenovos.
now i'm gonna have to re-evaluate.
fyi there are lots of interesting ryzen threads on gearslutz.com from very experienced tech people.
optimising/configs etc etc.
(eg music computers build pc at the top of forum, and ryzen 5000 big thread down lower.)
it could explain why i'm seeing some mac users going back to win.
and could explain apples new silicon strategy so they can plot their own future with their own processors.
frankly ive been fed up for a long time with the lack of progress on the market providing much more powerfull processors but at cheap prices. like watching paint dry.
whatever happened to moores law. lol.
(btw ive used rb for ages, and before that powertraks, back to the old pre-historic days. lol.)
so on that mainboard, does it take the slotted nvme or m.2 ssd tech ?
btw how long to win desktop from cold boot ?
(moi bout 9 secs.)
mucho respect
muso.
ps. i'm still testing , but loving new audient evo 4.
getting 4/5 secs latency in reaps, and i could get it lower.
but your focusrite is real nice too.
