    For Windows, I would never bother to use anything less than DDR-4.

    Just wondering if you have anything with DDR-5 and if it's a noticeable improvement over DDR-4

    The 5v tube filaments ran from a 6v car battery which could be recharged
    at the local (car) service station.
    The high voltage batteries lasted a fairly long time due to low current requirements.


    FWIW: my house was not electrified until 1932 so if the owner had a
    radio, it would have been battery powered.
