Well, there is a good chance the household will have a system with the powerful Nvidias at some point…by then will have familiarized with the whole thing anyway. Should you have any guides that are very practical, they are appreciated.

i now know…what i was looking for was if maybe some disallowed, more powerful versions are on there…nay…time to start exploring soon

Thanks, was preparing a bit already. Have some variations of the software- and Wizard-Vicuna13B-Uncensored.Q5_K_M, which stood out to me for some reason…lzlv (q5km) from a review in this sub, a 70b one (the best). Can alternate depending on need. All the ones from gpt4all, and 7b(+unfiltered) q4 Lora-s, which for some reason are the only ones hosted on torrent sites.

All right - the wait emphasises the quality of the question then. Will have a go - thanks!

The Chinese variations to be more specific, made to run all-core turbo. Have a E5-2696 V3 and a dual E5-2687 V4. Plus twelve E5-2697 V3 for later, an experimental project. They should all be great value - as good as it gets.
