Murre

Desktop computer ordered on 9/11/17

Rhymes with blur. This is not a Common Murre, though black and white, this one is flightless.

Replacement for Laysan. I just wanted more RAM and ended up replacing everything but the drives!

Hardware

9/15/17 Up and running, ported from Laysan:

• WDC Black 500GB NVME
• 2 x Seagate Barracuda SATA 3.0 in RAID 0
• Nvidia Quadro 2000D video card

Ordered 9/11/17

• ASUS TUF X299 Mark 2 motherboard
• Intel Core i9-7900X Skylake-X 10 core CPU
• Cooler Master "MasterLiquid Lite 120" liquid CPU cooler with one 120mm fan
• 64 GB RAM G.Skill TridentZ (4x16) DDR4 3200 (leaves 4 slots free)
• Seasonic SS-750KM3 750W 80plus Gold modular power supply
• Fractal Designs Meshify C case

Software

Windows 10 Home, Full version installed on NVME

I was tired of not being able to get full use of that video card due to restrictions caused by running under VirtualBox. I will still run Linux in VirtualBox when I needed it.

In preparation I "deauthorized" ArcGIS 10.5 Desktop on Laysan, and according to this guide I just have to march through the Windows 10 "reactivation" procedure that I went through a month ago when I accidentally made changes to the VirtualBox machine.

I am frustrated at the notion of installing native Windows 10 when my Parallels + Windows 7 combination on my Mac works so well. C'est la guerre.
