  • I can't even find pure copper CAT 5/6 cables anymore, they're all copper-clad aluminum which is great for the price but not great for longer runs. Last two "100% copper" cables I bought were not pure copper when I sliced them open and was able to strip some of the copper coating off.








  • Also I've heard that Windows likes monopolizing your boot partition

    Yep, seen this happen a couple of times with friends. Their boot loaders just randomly get nuked from their EFI partition after a Windows update,

    It's not worth it if you have a single GPU

    You can pass through a single GPU, it's just kind of a pain to get working so I wouldn't really recommend you bother with it unless you really want to go this route. Another option is to pick up some ancient very cheap graphics card up off Ebay or something to use for the host machine then pass through your more powerful GPU to the guest machine.
