I've never prescribed to the remove the covers thing. Airflow really hasn't been that kind of issue for decades (back in the '90s) because cases were designed so poorly (compared to today) then.

Old 10Base-T cables and crappy 8-port hubs (not even switches) and we were set (in 2003).

My last LAN party was in 2003. Was a way to deal with daily stress during a deployment. It was used often among 5 players. We all played via Panasonic Toughbooks and a cobbled together server we assembled from local sources. After that, while not gaming oriented, the local Linux Users Group...

Sounds like a good way to play Unreal Tournament.

I thought the halftime show seemed very low energy. My bar is very high. Prince. In the rain. Tearing off the roof. Rocking like it was 1999. Commercials were fairly forgettable. The Budweiser one was cute. The AI ones were were annoying and play on people's ignorance. The Beckham one was good...

2 channels verses a single channel. Think of it like having a larger pipe to pump data to/from the CPU versus one that is more constrained.

Reliability Monitor is built into Windows. Just type reliability in the search widget on your task bar. Your performance, as noted earlier with your memory configuration, is very much impacted by having just a single stick of memory installed. Improve that and you'll see better results.

The 1x16 of memory is sub-optimal. Performance would improve with 2x8 or even better with 2x16. It is important to understand that memory is sold in pairs/sets for a reason. You need to install in matched pairs/sets.

I don't think we have too many games, books, movies, etc. Variety is good and keeps things interesting and, hopefully, keeps drawing in new and keeping existing users engaged. With few exceptions, once I complete a game, I tend to be rid of it (uninstall it). Books and movies that I really...

No argument. ROMs clearly fall into this same quagmire.

As already discussed, this is a legally murky topic. In general, even without a victim, it is legally perilous. While the risk of repercussions is low, it isn't nil. When in doubt. Don't use these sources.

I watched the ST:Section 31 movie on Paramount+ a couple days ago. It is a festering turd of a movie. You have been warned.

Try it and see. I would think it possible. System requirements are not overly demanding. https://support.activision.com/sekiro/articles/minimum-system-requirements-for-sekiro-shadows-die-twice-for-pc

Take your time. You'll be okay.
