Beasty’s Motherboard
Fortran - RIP, Beast machine is “working”. 1 of 4 RAM slots are working and only 2 of 3 of graphics cards + ethernet can work at once. x^6 + x^2 + x… There are 2 primary options, replacing the motherboard and cpu on beasty or salvaging parts and adding them to the corner lab machines that never get used.
We’re going to give merging machines together first before buying something new.
