I guess the options would be to either increase VRAM by replacing the 3070 (8GB VRAM), or adding system RAM. In all fairness, system RAM for local AI can be really slow, so token/s output benefits much more from VRAM. Then again, I guess upgrading to a 16GB VRAM card is more expensive. Any chance to snatch up a cheap used 16GB video card?

If you upgrade system RAM, be sure to get a set with similar capacity and speed as you currently have in your system to avoid problems.

At the same time Gen X actually may have had the best time. Relatively peaceful times, nice social cohesion, at the same time less parental governance and control, and generating some of the most creative music/movies/games.

I can vouch for the JetKVM. I have one from the very first kickstarter campaign, and it really is a nice piece of technology. With the new version with that low price you cannot go wrong.

Did you catch the QUAGSIRE?

Please cut it short?
