ok, this is not quite retro but "old junk" bucket...
I got this 870 Extreme3 R2.0 with Athlon II x3 (which can be unlocked to x4) for free. Since DDR3 price is low, i got myself 32GB and built a Vista PC. that was easy.
To get to the next challenge, I've decided to install Win10 on this old thing but using NVME over PCIe slot (2.0 is the max this board can do). I got it all setup and running ( SSD was used for vista but that is now disconnected and NVME over PCIe is the solo storage device now).
Speed of the drive looks "ok" for PCIe 2.0, though it could have been faster (on read). Since this is the only drive, i'm sure there are other activities that was taking bandwidth while the test was running. So i'd call it good.
Has anyone else see similar perf over PCIe 2.0 NVME??
