"Focal Fossa is a long-term support (LTS) release and will be supported for 3 years, until April 2024" Is this LTS release supported for 3 years, or until April 2024 (4 years)?

I'd make the same point for these - if you showed them to anybody on the street and asked them to name the artist, I don't think many would guess Van Gogh. They are quite different from the works he's known for.

The muted greenish brown colouring, the strange wide aspect ratio, the generally dark tone and setting: if you'd try to sell this to me as a Van Gogh painting, I would have probably laughed at you. I'm far from being an art histor

I’m not very knowledgeable about Dual Channel operations, so maybe you can enlighten me. Intuitively I’d have said that using all slots with sticks of half the size would be the faster configuration, as they could then be used in parallel.

Interesting that when going for 768 GB of RAM, you can choose to spend an additional $4000 to leave half the slots open for possible future expansion: - 768GB (6x128GB) of DDR4 ECC memory - $14,000 - 768GB (12x64GB) of DDR4 ECC memory - $10
