I know in Adobe Audition you can set a separate disk as a temp file location Could you do the same and add an additional SSD to this PC? Then also if that doesn't work, you could use said SSD to put in a new PC Food for thought...

Still rocking a X58 / x5650 CPU system here, using a Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5 that I purchased on the 26th May 2009 from here That's a decade. Madness Managed to get 24GB of Hyper X RAM fairly cheap, added a USB3 PCI-E card The only thing I wished it had was SATA3......

Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5 Purchased almost 10 years ago and still going strong today with the following.......... Xeon X5650 - Approx £40 for a 6 core CPU 12GB DDR3 - Cost £48 back in 2011 1000w Corsair PSU - Approx £146 back in 2008 Not that surprising I've not upgraded....

Was wondering if anyone would be able to give me some advice with the wiring of a reversing camera in my Fiat Ducato van (exciting eh), which I've yet to purchase I might add I own a chinese style android headunit that has a colour screen, so it will be wired into that. When I stick the van...

Playing around with a spare one of these and would like to update the BIOS It's got an E5504 CPU which I'd like to change to an X5650 (which is supported according to HP) Problem is that the HP support website is confusing as hell, and I'm pretty sure it wants me to have a support contract...

I moved from a QX9650 to an i7 920 back in 2009 and was pretty annoyed that there was no real performance increase Upgrade didn't "cost" me anything as I sold the QX9650 2nd hand for more than the 920 was new! But in retrospect, spending £200 on a motherboard in 2009 has been the best...
