The 16GB Kit comes with two Single Rank 8GB modules (Ram chips only one side of the stick) which reduces the performance by certain degree as Ryzen Processors benefits from dual rank memory.
My recommendation will be buying the barebone and then get your SSD and Ram. They're charging extra $150 for 16GB Ram + 256GB SSD configuration which you can buy yourself. 256GB NVMe SSD can be found as cheap as $30-$40 if you look for the deals and 16GB kit will cost $60-$70.

It was a million rows by about 25 columns wide with each column utilizing a previous set of columns to generate an output. I quoted them a week to convert it to SQL Server but they needed it faster than they had time to even stand up a SQL Server much less refactor the model.
Oh, also.
1. Did you check to see your commit charge numbers in Task Manager? Most likely you're out of memory and it has nothing to do with your CPU.
2. Did you check CPU utilization in Task Manager?
3. Pics or it didn't happen.
4. The root of the issue is that Excel is not written with special CUDA instructions to take advantage of GPUs with high refresh rates. Did the PC running the Excel spreadsheet have a powerful GPU with high refresh rates? If so, you need to open a ticket to Microsoft to have them rewrite Excel to take advantage of the CUDA instruction sets and then get the design engineers at AMD to design their new GPUs to also includes the NVIDIA CUDA instructions so that Excel will run in the exact same amount of time as you have experienced because Excel doesn't even run in the GPU.
What is the commit charge? If you don't know then you are making unsubstantiated remarks. The fact that you refer to commit charge as being out of memory already tells me that you aren't qualified to make this statement because they two are related but not the same. Also, you haven't a clue what it means to be "out of memory" because you don't understand how the system kernel allocates those resources. If the system is performing correctly when loading huge files, you should see your RAM being maxed out up to whatever percentage the kernel decides should be reserved for other application or system processes. You say you've 32GB of RAM but that really means NOTHING. If you have 32GB, Excel might allocate (depending on its configuration and that of the kernel's page pool allocation [and NO, the system paged pool and non-paged pool is NOT the same thing as paged RAM, even if they both use the word "page"] for example 28GB for Excel to use, cut up into the non-paged memory pool which then purges data from the pool when more is added. Typically for examples such as yours you would set it to 0xFFFFFFFF in the registry to overcome depleted memory pools. Again, you can check for event ID 2020 or 2021 in the log files to see if this is becoming extreme enough to cause system instability issues.
If you're experiencing extended delays when working with spreadsheets that are that "massive, I pontificate that you are accessing them over a local network, most likely from a typical DFS server or cluster. That network traffic? Yeah, that's what's slowing the process down. It might not even be a bandwidth issue; it's probably something related to your TCP window size and the well-documented issues with TCP autotuning for SMB 2.0+ systems. That issue is often further exacerbated by accessing large databases or other datasets (such as large spreadsheets) over multiple segments and your Network engineering team should work on cross-router window sizes and traffic prioritization.
Again, you're desperately clinging to this fantasy that this system is good for working on large spreadsheets. Perhaps, but that doesn't change the fact that this system is generally an off-balance system that serves little to no purpose except for marketing to people like you who don't really have a firm grasp of the technology you employ. Yet again you're trying to argue a specific example versus a general idea. It's the debate method those with little to offer in terms of actual knowledge typically resort to.
So you're a grunt; I got it. That further substantiates my assertion that YOU really haven't a clue what you're talking about and are in fact just some bean counter without nothing more than a very basic understanding of systems.
That's true, but mathematical operations are actually FASTER than sorting in almost every case. CISC architecture, which is what Core-iX processors employ includes many integrated instruction sets in the microcode to accelerate complicated mathematical expressions.
It has a CPU installed that is way out of balance with the rest of the system. With the exception of an INCREDIBLY RARE set of examples, this system would in fact be SLOWER than some systems that strike a balance between its components. Anyone worth their salt as a systems integrator, administrator, or solution architect will tell you exactly the same thing, although I doubt that you would listen, as you're the type of wannabe who likes to delude himself into thinking he's right, even when what he's saying is wrong.
LOL, NO. Again you demonstrate just how ignorant of the subject matter you actually are. "Refresh rate" refers to the speed in Megahertz that a component operates at; in this case the CPU. A fast GPU contributes nearly nothing to Excel as there is no CUDA acceleration employed the software... YET. I doubt it ever will, either since Microsoft wants to move to a subscription-based service that leverages cloud-computing. Excel 2019 is believed to be the last standalone version of the software that will ever get released, and even in that case you can't use the software without Windows 10 unless you go through an elaborate hacking process to get it working on previous versions of Windows.
Nobody is arguing the convenience of using spreadsheets versus databases. You're just confusing the conversation in an effort to look less of a fool. I stated that this system is not particularly well-engineered as configured. The number of people that would find this a better option over similarly-priced alternatives is INCREDIBLY small. You and your buddy's crying about Microsoft Excel is not only unfounded but frankly even if it was accurate, it is a moot point because no enterprise company would deploy an unsupported no-name system like this regardless.
Are you suggesting that SOHOs would be using massive Excel spreadsheets with complicated formulas and reporting? Hmmm
I've already established that I have worked with many large spreadsheets in enterprise corporate environments, not to mention had many direct reports over my career that are bean counter grunts just like you.
My first comment was that this system is pretty odd and won't be particularly useful for the vast majority of end users. That comment is accurate. You only consider my comments absurd in that they dumpster anything of the opinions you've given thus far... using facts.
I know you're tired from being buried repeatedly but if you don't like hearing TRUTH then YOU are the one that needs to leave. Also, Neither Jesus nor God would have anything to do with you. You are not a godly person, and are in fact bigoted in your adamant yet [mostly] untrue statements, fascist in that you don't want to hear that you're wrong so you demand people to be silent, and evil in that you exhibit these evil qualities while simultaneously using both Jesus' name and God's formal address in vain.
*mic drop*

But in all seriousness, I'm right there with you. When people spend a large portion of their workday analyzing/manipulating large amounts of data, any additional help in reducing wait times equates to more productivity. But try telling that to the bean counters who control the budget and only source the cheapest parts that can barely support current environments, let alone future resource loads on the hardware. I work in a government regulated business and the amount of background processes to log/audit and enforce security policies is insane.

The thing is this amount of data is peanuts to the shear amount of data that I've collected when modeling wind turbines...100+ channels collecting data every second in real-time.
Such BS statements like 30s can only be said by an ignorant person who clearly has no such experience and rightfully should be ignore.

Comically bad product. Gamers Nexus review says liquid metal was splattered all over the internal component. And reviews on the site are 1.9 stars. Would stay far away from this.

Hello,
Recently, some Youtube reviewers have questions regarding our product and the way we market it.
First of all, we would like to apologize for the confusion that we cause to reviewers and our customers and would like to make some explanation regarding the questions that you may have:
1.Liquid metal splitting problem:
We tested our product in several ways and one of them is a drop test. HX90 passed the 60cm test.
But later when we did a 80cm test, we found a problem. Liquid metal leaked.
We want to improve it and raise the standard so the HX90 can survive an 80cm drop.
But because we had limited samples, we removed the liquid metal and used thermal paste in these review samples.
2. Is the product liquid metal applied?
The actual product is definitely liquid metal applied. There will be no problem with sealing. HX90 can survive 80cm drop tests.
In mid August, we were informed that the sealing technique was good enough and we can produce samples with liquid metal applied so we decided to send the second unit to reviewers because it would be better if they can test the sample which can represent the actual product.
The reason why reviewers got confused is that there were misunderstandings in our company's internal communication.
Our factory mistakenly sent the same sample as the first unit which was still using thermal paste.
There is no reason in the world that we would send a false product to reviewers to show our problems, especially reviewers like Linus Tech Tips, Jayztwocents and Gamers Nexus.
As soon as we found out we sent the wrong sample we wrote emails to all reviewers who received the second unit to try to clarify the mistake.
But damage had been caused and we are truly sorry for the time they spent testing the sample.
3. The inconvenient screws:
This is another difference from the actual product. The actual product will use Philip Screw.
As shown in the picture, this was designed before August.
We sincerely apologize for the confusion we caused to reviewers and customers. We will never lie to our customers and our products will be the same as the way we market them. We will upload a video filming how we apply liquid metal.
But regardless, please accept our humble apologies.
Thanks & Regards
