Thanks, update possible via Microcode update (Guess thats just fancy words for bios update).

 

Is there a decent alternative to StoreMI for older (Sandy) Intel-based systems?

 

you can do it all in windows 10 for free it is just a bit more manual, there is a thread on the forum, don't think you can do a boot drive from it but there is quite a bit of flexibility there as you can use a number of drives.

Or you can buy the software from entomus called fuzedrive it is cheap, under $30. AMD storeMI is a free version of fuzedrive.

Intel also has something called Rapid Storage technology too where you can use a small 60Gb ssd as a cache but it is not quite as good but can help slow an old hdd based system with a cheap sdd.

 

Ah, nice one - good work as always, Mr s!

Will check it out.

 

Actually seen articles for the new ryzen budget CPUs, they are looking decent for the price.
4c/8t.

Seems like it was a good thing to wait. Been looking for a 1600af daily but now will wait to see if it will be even cheaper or get the new ones.

Still the gpu rx580 8gb models are at least £120 now a days for a good pre owned one.
