IrishMASMS<p>Also: from this <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/W510" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>W510</span></a> experiences I learned there is a

IrishMASMS<p>Part 4/4 following up on the thread:<br>The continuing efforts with the <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/ThinkPad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ThinkPad</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/W510" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>W510</span></a>: Though that 32GB tested out fine with <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/MEMTest86plus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MEMTest86plus</span></a> v7, that does not mean the <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/BIOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BIOS</span></a> and other circuitry in a W510 can handle 32GB. Thanks to the local vintage computing group cluing me in that e820 BIOS routines were not tested against 32 GB of physical memory. If wonky, then that could confuse the bootloader – the issues I was running into. </p><p>On their suggestion, I replaced the <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/DIMMs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DIMMs</span></a> with four (4) 4GB DIMMs totaling 16GB. Ran <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/MEMTest86" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MEMTest86</span></a>+ and they passed. </p><p>Reinitiated the <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/Win11" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Win11</span></a> install, and the install worked! But like the <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/Win10" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Win10</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/x86" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>x86</span></a> install I had on here previously; <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/Windows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Windows</span></a> is dog slow on this laptop. It was usable, was able to update the latest patches and such, but painful and not the end user experience I wanted. With only a i7 1.6Ghz processor, this may be the cutoff for usability. Any of the i5 or i7 ThinkPads with &gt;2Ghz processors ran Win11 with minimal issues and certainly not with this slowness I experienced. </p><p>So, I have re-thought my plans for this <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/laptop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>laptop</span></a> reinstalling <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/debian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>debian</span></a> latest and thinking about what to do next for my workbench needs. Need to do some research on which other <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/Lenovo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Lenovo</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/thinkpads" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>thinkpads</span></a> have <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/eSATA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>eSATA</span></a> ports which would have faster processors than this W510. </p><p><a href="https://defcon.social/tags/siliconValley"
