polyester concept posted:use a screensaver to prevent burn in i mean, at least as real now as it was then, oled has made progress but tbh you'll burn it in quicker than most crts at the time where that was the advice. but so happens that the screensavers are built-in and not as fun in 2024.

when installing sram don't forget that in addition to the main 32k chips youll also likely need some tag memory in the form of 8k chips and if you mistakenly leave the jumper setting in the 32*9 position the bios should catch it so don't worry about it finally in boards with larger sockets you should align the chips with the flat edge of the socket, not the notched edge
