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:
