I think your bigger problem with that board is going to be that PCIe slot is a PCIe 2.0 x1 slot so it will be slow but you can just use an adapter like this:

Flexible versions exist too! I’m also not sure you would get a lot of benefit out of a GT730 really so YMMV.
I am in the same boat, long time infrastructure automation engineer as well. Sometimes it’s faster to explain how terraform or whatever needs to act and then fix the issues rather than having to sift through the docs for every provider.
I also do a similar thing to you with code, I also have to read a lot of other people’s code in languages I don’t know to help troubleshoot things and while I can usually follow the logic it is such a time saver to have AI to read the docs for the libraries and languages for me to at least find the part of the docs I need to read faster than searching myself.
Overall, I also agree with the sentiment on AI most of the time and all of its criticisms are definitely valid but I think too many people try to use AI to do their work for them instead of using it more like a rubber duck you can program with normal language.
Lots of good suggestions here already but what is your upstream DNS provider and is it your ISP DNS from DHCP?
Oh I have a very specific one for you buckle up haha. So one thing in macOS that gets progressively better and worse over time is actual multi-monitor support. It’s fine but I swear either no one at Apple uses multiple monitors or everyone actually has only cinema displays arranged in a horizontal line haha. I have used OSX/macOS for a long time and it was much worse for a long time but had gotten pretty workable then BAM around Tahoe or so arrangement is buried in some menu now and I’m not sure the function of the row of displays actually is now? Anyway, it’s mostly great, this is the one thing that apparently turns into a rant haha! Okay two things, bring back eGPUs on Apple Silicon :D
