I understand the reasoning, why computers nowadays take forever for the first boot due to ram optimization, but a previous computer that I built, I didn’t know that and for hours I thought the motherboard was broken. Now it always makes me nervous on if there’s an issue or it’s just taking forever to do the optimization.

    Yeah RAM training is just unnerving. For like 6 minutes you have a Schroedinger's box that is either fucked or about to POST

    Hang on, I've never heard of this. I haven't built a huge amount of machines but never knew about RAM training!

    I even did a Compaq course back in the day ~25 years ago. Is this a recent thing, by any chance (DDR era)?
