Usage

[Ernie508]

Hi All,

I was just trying to see if there is a better way to utilize my two systems.  Background: I got a HP TP01-1337c and was happy with it until HP told me to upgrade the BIOs.  Yes, you guessed it, brick.  I tried everything, totally disassembled.  Finaly decided to buy a new motherboard and a new Ryzen 5 5600G which is still in a drawer along with the old motherboard with corrupted bios. Dumb me, I thought the 5600G would work on the old board since it uses same slot, everything identical even the Erica3_Erica5. I proceeded to try 3 more boards. Nothing worked and not even the old Ryzen 5 4600G.  I needed a system, so I bought a new system identical to the 4600G except for the chip. I got HPT01-2137C Ryzen 5 5600G.  UPS lost it in transit.  Again, I tried to fix the old system. I got a 4th motherboard.  I can tell you forget about anything anyone tells you...get identical numbers match everything motherboard. I installed the old 4600G chip, it worked! However, while all this was going on the new system showed up. I now had two almost identical systems.  Using a spare monitor, I installed them side by side with identical software.  I hooked both up by ethernet cable to T-Mobile home internet and use free software “Mouse Without Boarders” which allows me to use both systems with just 1 mouse and 1 keyboard.  By way, even though one system is 5600G 32MB Ram and other is 4600G 16MB Ram both run almost identical speed and process. Both systems are mounted on their side behind the 1 monitor with both having USB extenders under the monitor and the on/off switch visible.

Here are the specks:

Ryzen 5 5600G (New)			Ryzen 5 4600G (Old)
1TB M.2 C Drive windows		1TB M.2 C Drive windows
265BG M.2 backup window PCIe card	265BG M.2 backup window PCIe card
1TB HHD Drive (Data)			1TB HHD (Data)
3.90 GHz				3.70 GHz
32 GB RAM 16X2 DDR4			16 GB RAM 8X2 DDR4

Product:  318H8AA#ABA		Product: 1J7L1AA#ABA
BIOs F.31				BIOs F.35

Internet Speed: 247Mbps down   13Mbps up both.

Is there any other way I should consider in their setup?

Thanks
