Lately I really enjoyed playing some of the video games from my youth. And I thought it would be a good idea to capture a bit of gameplay before I get too old to handle a controller :)

    I would have gone with a 2TB nvme drive and reinstalled windows to it. And i know that machine supports booting to PCIe. As for the add in card being able to use all 3 drives at once it can in theory. If the mobo supports bifurcation it should see all 3 of them, but with the extra sata ports on there I'm willing to bet theres a controller chip on there that will alow you to use all 5 at once.

    These old HP desktops and Gpu are extremely slow and outdated. With all respect to your video, looks like your It Technician skeels does need much more upgrade than this HP machine. Don't get me wrong lots people watch you and your quality of work is poor. This is constructive criticism not offensive one. Formatting wrong drive happend to me once, since then I always disconnect old drive before Windows installation, it is good practice to correctly name partitions as drive letters can create chaos. Last but not least, nvme can without warning simply die Highly Highly recommend live backup to One Drive or similar cloud solution. One Drive saved many small business from lost of years of work. Good luck with next video.

    The old PCI standard is too slow for NVME drives to work with it. You're tied to 133 MB/s, which is fast enough for Gigabit Ethernet, but pales in comparison to even PCIe 1.0, which can transfer at 4GB/s with a x16 slot.

    more recent motherboards and PSUs have overvoltage protection to prevent that kind of damage, BUT you should always secure your fan blades when cleaning them with compressed air, as the air pressure can spin the fans fast enough to strip the motor bearing.

    The sata connections are used when using MSata and NGFF SSDs, you connect them to your motherboard sata ports. You are not getting 2 extra sata connections. Typically on thes e cards you can use one nvme and one ngff (sata), since yours has a msata, it can probably use 3 drives, 2 of which require plugging in to sata ports on mb. The top nvme type slot is keyed for NGFF drive which uses one of the sata connections.

    It depends on the model and where it was sold. Some have a proprietary monitor port which is likely what is being used here but there are big, chunky external RF modulators for TVs. I can't remember if any Amigas had built in modulators like the Atari ST did. SVGA is an IBM PC standard that became more and more common in the late 80s. Amiga was made by Commodore and the first model was released in 85/6. These days you can get converters and such for HDMI etc. Back in the day there were ones for SCART but if you're not European you won't know what that is.

The original Amiga 1000 from '85 had built in composite port but A500, A500+ and A2000 did not, they came with external RF Modulators in the box. Original Atari ST from '85 did not have built in modulator, you had to buy a monitor for original ST. Wasn't until the STm and STfm were released before the Atari ST had built in composite (modulator). A3000, A4000, A600 and A1200 all had built in composite port as well as the CD32. CD32 also had S-Video. All Amiga models (except CD32) had 23pin RGB port.

    Started on Amiga version of 1 - then bought them all on PC and have to say GP2 was my most played and probable favourite. Only issue i remember was that the game time was linked to your frame rate - so a lap timed at say 1:30 mins would take 2 mins real time if you chugged on full graphics, or barely a minute if you reduced the detail to minimum for max framereate. I first noticed this on GP2 and think GP3 also had this issue -something to do with the game engine, not sure about 4
