My first attempt to upgrade the RAM of my older desktop
computer resulted in it not even posting. After a lot of
detective work I learned that my computer did not
support XMP profiles, only JEDEC profiles. I found
that Crucial memory provides what may be the best
support for JEDEC profiles available. My computer
booted immediately with this memory kit and gave the
maximum possible speed for my Intel Core i5 Gen 8
processor - 2666 MHz ! Using the utility CPU-Z I found
that Crucial provides matching JEDEC profiles for
every XMP profile, and that these cover all possibilities
permitted for 8th through 11th generation Intel CPUs.

This is my first racing wheel setup, and it is an enormous
step up from a gaming controller! I use it with Forza
Horizon 4, and it is incredible driving around Scotland
with this setup. For a beginning set up it is an incredible
value. I have it mounted on a folding frame and I set it up
in front of my large screen TV that is connected to my
Xbox One X console. I highly recommend it!

I got this product when it was on a special offer for
just $45 for 3-months of unlimited talk, text, and data.

written instructions available on the Mint Mobile web site.

It is one of the best adventure games out there,

this will become a collector's item in ten years!
It is on sale at an unbelievable price, and will probably
go out of stock in the near future.

Lenovo 510A-15ICB Desktop: Upgrade your home computer with this Lenovo IdeaCentre desktop PC. The fast Intel Core i5-8400 processor and Intel UHD 630 graphics card easily handle complex software, and you can store your photos and files on the big 1TB hard drive or make use of the seven-in-one card reader to save on other storage media. Connect this Lenovo IdeaCentre computer wirelessly to other devices using the built-in Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.
How big is the power supply in this unit? Can I add a Nvidia 1050 GPU without upgrading the Factory power supply?
The unit has an internal 180 Watt power supply. I believe you would have to replace it with a higher power supply to run such a card. I did a little research on upgrading the power supply for this machine. It is not so easy. I would recommend sticking with the built in graphics. The machine was not designed for higher end gaming.

You will have to do it after the purchase, and the system has been set up. It is very easy to do via the Windows Store (for which you must have an account). It will cost about $100.

does the motherboard come with an extra cable it I want to install another SATA compatible Drive or does it have to be purchased separately?
I opened up my computer to look at the cable situation, because I want to add an additional hard drive to the system. I found that the power cable to the DVD drive has a connector on it that will allow you to supply power to such a drive. I also saw that there is an open socket for one data sata cable to connect to this drive, but there is no cable provided to do this. You will have to buy the cable yourself (less than $10). Finally there is a single open bay available, and it will hold a 3.5" drive, and it is just below the dvd drive. So adding one additional SATA drive appears doable, and relatively straight forward.

Why is there no slot for a GPU? In the specifications for this product, in the expansion section, it states there is 1 PCI-E X1 slot, and a PCI-E x16 slot. What is in these slots, if I can't put a GPU in there? Is the description wrong?
I opened up my Lenovo, and see that both of these slots are open and available. However, be aware that the power supply for this machine is modest, and supplies a maximum of only 180 Watts. You need to carefully tally up the power already being used, and see if there is enough for the video card of your choice. Even a low end video card is going to use over 30 W. I think you are best advised to stick with the built in graphics.
