Yeah, I’ll have to consider all my options and I’ll keep you informed. With all my follow-up doctors appointments, it’s been difficult to sit down and process all options! Thanks again!

After plunking in my options, it came to almost $2700 plus NY State sales tax. That came just under $3000! I choose, the i7 too, the i9 would have been close to $2900 before taxes!

I received a reply email from Titan Computers. Here is what they wrote me back: Kindly review our Titan W261 workstation which uses the newest intel i7 and i9 processors with up to 16 cores and 24 threads: https://www.titancomputers.com/Titan-W261-Intel-i5-i7-i9-Alder-Lake-Series-p/w261.htm...

Thanks for the tips. Again, I not looking for a Gaming type computer. My current Dell XPS Studio 9100 was probably one of the first editions of Intel's i7. It's served me well. I think the Intel i7's are up to their 12th or 13th generation?? I'm sure they are more advanced than mine. There's...

I hear you about the GPU's that are out today! I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw some going between $1500-2000 range and I'm sure certain other might go higher. I would still like to get a decent one that's installable but like you said, not anything exotic. The Ram requirement, I'll take...

I just recently started to do Astrophotography. The files a extremely large AVI’s and one program called Registax, needs quite a bit of memory and also creates large AVI files, so that 24GB of ram comes into use and I have a couple of large 256 GB USB drives to store images I keep. My 2 older...

Thank you all for your reply's. I'm 70 years old and just had heart surgery so I'm not likely to tackle a complete component build from scratch. I'm realizing that this whole forum is geared toward entire builds, but I was having difficulty in finding the right category here at AnandTech...

Yes, if feasible. Those Blueray drives are from 2012. I could opt for 1 new one. Having 2 cut time down in making a copy, 1 did the reading & the other would burn. After reading the Dell XPS reviews, the new chassis is flimsy. They concentrated on the MB & components but put the stuff in a tin...

Hello All, I’m new to this forum so please excuse my feeble questions! I’ve repaired and diagnosed computer issues and software related issues better than most, but am at no level here at this forum. I purchased a 2012, Dell XPS Studio 9100. It’s served me well. I maintain it well including...
