Hi #PC nerds, I'm retrofitting a trashpicked PC tower with a Gigabyte AMD B550 motherboard and a Ryzen 5 (5500) CPU. I have three working DDR4 modules:

• one G.Skill DDR4-3200 16G module
• two Corsair DDR4-3200 8G modules

I gather that running 2x8G plus 1x16G is not a supported configuration, but is it a lethal combo, or just not "performant"? If using them all is a Really Bad Idea, and I'm limited to 16GiB of RAM, which set is preferable? I'd appreciate advice on pros & cons (eyerolls accepted).

For context, I plan to deploy this box as a home media server (not sure which OS yet, but probably Debian) for family photos and my ogg/MP3 collection. It'll sport an old geforce 1650 4G GPU, and may do some occasional transcoding, but nothing I'd call high-performance computing (I might play some old games on it sometimes).

(I did manage to blow most of the stink out of this old chassis, at least.)

Man.

Got the pc today. Decided to just do an emergency disk of the windows install to have around and then blow it away with Ubuntu...

An hour later, after all sorts of windows updates, spinning circles...

Asking me to share everything down to my inner feelings to microsoft...

I still haven't actually gotten into Windows.

Never again. 🤣

Ich hab den 16 J alten ThinkPad T510i meines Vaters wiederbelebt, indem ich die Festplatte gegen eine SSD getauscht und Linux Mint installiert habe. Es ist ein Dual-Core i5 mit 6 GB RAM, der vorher unter Windows 8.1 fast unbenutzbar war. Jetzt bootet er in 5-7s. und Firefox, Youtube, Libreoffice, usw. laufen problemlos.
