Or maybe the ones like myself who got the 7950X at a hefty discount once the first 7950X3D reviews dropped... DDR5 was cheaper and easier to find for us too.

After going back and forth on it, I decided to just get a plain 7950X instead of the 3D. I’ll be doing multitasking during my gaming with Voicemeeter running multiple 7.1 surround audio streams and Discord voice chat, and the 5950X had issues with this already that required me to confine all of...

If anyone wants to use WSL2 to get a genuine Ubuntu terminal or something, then SVM must be turned on. Problem with turning it on is that anticheat for some games like Valorant will not allow you to play that game unless you turn SVM off.
