One thing that I=92m thinking might be a problem is the fact that it=92s = sharing resources between the onboard graphics and the storage = controller, and plus the other two slots were supposedly dedicated for = storage purposes or some such (NVME, etc). Guess I=92ll try neutering the onboard GPU and see what happens... --Apple-Mail=_E662F797-3390-4854-94FB-9E2C1BB533EE Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: Message signed with OpenPGP using GPGMail -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: GPGTools - https://gpgtools.org iQEcBAEBCgAGBQJVJN1uAAoJEMZr5QU6S73em0UIALGAydUrPbThyrHuXXjoTVhx R+nk+jG20FoGKdyPysh1GLlbY4M3If4YziQGMcoGCDDmWPoSgP2i40fzp8mk9bOu GrGcjY4mMDPoc5rcTf2beFspF3blT6HACHQALwPgFDkIDvng+SWeb1UqBNFyRLdX F+8OytxdeoGJKqmeVB3Et8ePYEHC8f0UyCyrzUfv36Kq4HwOaWcyMJD8FrhW7QnK epCE4MC0W1mXc//CD7usnbUXEhr/vPMN7WCnqqEcnmt+T1YWqc9Asg5Wp55RKfqI M6vuKDsKfsw9tldjT7MRvksV5rBU4R+oMO2jbLbK5Wx013YTaxpeov7M2iRR+w0= =69xl -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Apple-Mail=_E662F797-3390-4854-94FB-9E2C1BB533EE--
