I've always wondered
why do you always need to do a number 1, or a number 1 and 2 at the same time
but never just a two
<:thonkang:327933449597878312>
why do you speak in riddles?

Ouch
swap 🤢
thats so 00s
moved down to 16 from 24, about to go back up to 32 then prolly 48
maybe even 64 because fuck it this problem will only get worse
may as well max out what motherboard supports
would have gone for 32 from the start but i wanted ryzen box sooner and that'd have juuuust put it out of what i had on hand at the moment i bought it
Then when used DDR4 ECC and Xeons hit
Buy em up
i mean by then the used server market will roll over a generation and i could get a decent r710 or dl380 for way less, with everything already in it
psu bodge for gpu and you've got yourself a workstation
that was the plan before i settles on ryzen anyway tbh
Used Xeons will be cheaper than current ES chips
more like $200-$500 for the ones with eight ram slot
and with only four i don't see any benefit there over my current workstation
8 slots for $150
after rebate
$200
$160 before rebate
idrac2xE5645, 128GB PC3L-10600R , raid controller with battery,
good for raw power/$
not per core performance
Shove that shit in a Lackrack and call it a day
It is noisy however
eh, r710s aren't too loud
they're quieter than my dl380, which is a whisper next to my little old 1u supermicro box that never gets turned on anymore
It's still a server, meant for cool airconned rooms
i have switches louder than an r710
eh
