I was reading Ryzen 5000 reviews this morning when I should've been doing actual work. Holy smoke!

That is just awesome nice work my friend. I wonder if it'll work for XP pro 64 to make use of 8 or 16 gigs of RAM. I know that would be way overkill for XP but it would just be awesome none the less.

Man that board is a thing of beauty. I have two dual slot 1 supermicro motherboards. Bob have you tried using the system yet? I did recently give it a smoke test, when I got the ram from ebay. http://imgur.com/a/Z2Qg1bv Excellent! That is just super sexy looking. I hope you can find a suitable case …
