Yes,  I hate doing all of this shopping and research - I have other stuff I
need to be doing.    I'm trying to figure out now what to send back and what
to keep if anything.     I think at this point I either go budget with a
single i7 system,   or I send everything back except the memory and put
together an i9 system which is going to jack up the costs - but it will be a
great bang for the buck system.
