Hello all, I am sorry if this isn't the correct forum for the post, please move it if you feel it would be a better fit somewhere else.
I have a server at home with 24 gigs of memory, and I am looking to increase that, and htop is showing me that MUCH of that is in use. Currently 22 Gigs, and that is with Plex Media server running, but no players online, no media watching/listening happening currently, Minecraft servers are NOT currently running.
Output:
I tried to place an order at a site for sticks that match what I already have, but was told they are currently out of stock. They offered a Micro part in its place and for the same price, but I am not sure what to do. One that that I am not sure of is that the Micron part doesn't have a heat spreader, would that have any impact on the temps in the 2U Supermicro chassis this lives in? My Other concern, is that if I DO go with the Micron part, can I STILL use the existing Nanya memory that came with the server when I bought it, or will that 24gig have to be removed?? Just looking for some guidance and opinions here, as I am not sure what to do. I have experience building PC's since the early 2000's, but this is my first server build, and I haven't ever mixed memory in a build.
The PLAN was to order 12 sticks, and fill all the slots, topping the server off at 64 Gigs of memory.
