Can I remove the WiFi card or do I just turn it off.Ħ. I do not need WiFi only the onboard 1 GHz network connection. This will be an Audio DAW machine only, Windows 10 Pro, 1TB PCIe x4 SSD system - program drive, 2TB HDD 7200 rpm back up drive and a 1TB PCIe x4 SSD on a PCIe adapter card for audio.ĥ. I could do that at a later date if I decided to change my monitor.Ĥ. So I am hoping that I do not have to install a graphics card at this time. ProTools is working fine on my XPS 8300 in 1080p. Is the onboard graphics Intel UHD 630 for this type of set up? I am trying to keep the system from having a noisy hot graphics adapter that is not needed. I have had to many issues trying to go to a 4k monitors with many applications so I have decided at this point to stay with a 1920x1080p monitor. I do not play games, this is specifically for a DAW and my current monitor is a 1080p. Does anyone know what SSD's are shipping in the current Dell Builds?ģ. I want to use that slot to hold a PCIe x4 SSD as a Audio Hard drive with a PCIe adapter card.Ģ.

I do not want to use this slot for my OS -System SSD. In the MB layouts I've seen, I have not seen where the PCIe x4 slot for the new SSD is? Other than the 4th slot down on the MB that is a PCIe x4 slot. I want a 4 lane PCIe slot for a 1TB SSD card. Is there a current MB (motherboard) layout available that explains the slots and configuration? I have pulled up several and they seem to conflict with others. I do no use VI only a number of Plug-ins and Slate Digital effects. So I am going to move up to the i7-8700 CPU in hopes of having a much faster performance DAW. My current system is an XPS 8300 with the Intel i7-2600 CPU. I am looking at the XPS 8930 to be used as a ProTools DAW and plan to configure on ProTools on this system.
