Do I need to install the VMWare workstation on my optane SSD to see the performance improvements or can that be installed on a regular SSD while the actual VMs are on the Optane?

I'm currently running a SATA SSD and it seems to me that performance can be improved for 4x VMs. Would an NVMe SSD improve performance? I've looked at a few benchmarks, maybe I'm reading them wrong but it looks like NVMes have a cache that allows them to run fast for a short duration and then...

Hello, I had a gskill 16gb kit that I tried to upgrade to a 32gb corsair kit. Both are the same in terms of frequency 1.35v @ 3200mhz. As soon as I put in the new kit, I cant get into bios. The DRAM Q-LED is on. I tried putting the old Gskill ram back in and it doesn't work with that now...

I was thinking of upgrading a really old PC with a cheap 60GB SSD. The CPU is the 6400 Core2Duo and it's on a MSI G31TM-P21 mobo. Probably uses the old SATA connection, but would it still work?
