Purchased an RTC 5060 ti with 16GB of VRAM with the sole intent of using it to learn openllama.

Of course this leads to a rabbit hole like is my gear up to the task. I am wondering if I need a new motherboard and or CPU.
Or maybe a sign to rotate my gear, bring in new faster machine, and this one in front of me becomes an AI box.
Another thing I did today was figure out was for my Demo NAS, the chipset matters for smart, luckily I had another nvme to sata adapter and it works. The hard drives all appear normal.
Only 6 channels though, I need 8. Oh well it works enough.
