Placed an order (#1013) today for 2 of the 1x -> 16x cables, hoping they arrive this week, will update when they do

thanks for the reminder, appreciate it

it mainly only uses the GPU ram, not the system ram for mining, just any normal amount to run your OS should be fine

for that price i'd probably just pay the extra few bucks and get the warentee on it... who knows what the previous owner's done to it

are these hugs free as in beer or free as in speech?

yep, that's pretty much it
