that used to be a builtin function didnt it? -NT - (boxley) - (3) - March 6, 2021, 04:38:18 PM EST

I think so. Win10 20H2 hides it very well if it's still there... :-/ -NT - (Another Scott) - March 6, 2021, 07:13:29 PM EST

Looks like PowerToys might be able to do it. - (Another Scott) - (1) - March 13, 2021, 05:49:10 PM EST

Speaking of old mechanical tech... - (Another Scott) - (1) - March 14, 2021, 01:44:13 PM EDT

Yes, but I was picturing the line matrix - (drook) - (2) - March 14, 2021, 07:07:54 PM EDT

Line matrix is easy - (crazy) - (1) - March 15, 2021, 06:32:10 AM EDT

Me with hardware control is like me watching figure skating - (drook) - March 15, 2021, 08:57:31 AM EDT

Got 64-bit Windows installed, just ordered the RAM - (drook) - (8) - Dec. 23, 2020, 01:36:05 PM EST

If performance is an issue, always go for dual-channel - (pwhysall) - (7) - Dec. 24, 2020, 02:53:05 AM EST

Does that mean it's better to have 2x4 than a single 8? - (drook) - (6) - Dec. 24, 2020, 09:55:30 AM EST

Aye-firmative. - (pwhysall) - (5) - Dec. 24, 2020, 11:59:24 AM EST
