Three straight days of 87-degree heat. What better thing to do than to format and rebuild my audio workstation!
Back in 2012 I built a $375 PC with a 3.8GHz AMD Quad-Core processor and 8GB DDR3 - more than sufficient for a music server and for audio transcoding.
But for those last several years, I made due with a 32-bit OS that could only see half of my RAM when I was on the Windows side of the system. (I dual boot to Ubuntu as well.)
Today I FINALLY sat down and migrated to a 64-bit OS to fully-utilize my system's resources. Wiped it clean and started fresh.
Here's the brilliantly minimal desktop environment - I've stripped the UI of everything but the essentials.
And here's Media Monkey Gold running cleaner than ever!
Spring cleaning - it feels great!
