4x 4GBs = 16GBs :)

I am getting the parts for my home server.
I am planning for the server to have 32GBs of RAM. :eek:

 
show off. :p

Nice dude, why do you need 16GB or even 32GB of ram anyway? I guess someone wants a bigger e-penis ;)
 
sticking a whole operating system to ram drive would be awesome.

Or even running a game for that matter.

Evcept for the initial copying everything to the ramdrive when you boot up, but hey what's an extra minute in the boot time right?.
 
damnnnnnnnn :eek:
why the hell do you need that much ram? You running an enterprise at your home? :D
 
Should be nice response times with 31GB of data cached. Hope you have enough clients to make use of it :)
 
I am getting all this stuff for a series of computing experiments (I want to give IBM's mainframes a run for their money ;) ).
Since the RAM is the most expensive part of this build (by far - think brand new car with that money), I decided to get the RAM first and then see what platform supports it.

What sucks is that I am limited to AMD as Intel only supports FB-DIMMs for its latest server platform.
Intel is dropping FB-DIMM but has not said much as to what will be the replacement.

I am really holding off for an AMD quad (or two) to actually build the server.
There is a great chance that I will build the server using 2x dual core AMD and then swap them when the quads are out.

Anyway, I just pre-ordered another 16GBs making this a 32GBs server build. Who is calling for 64GBs? :D

I will update with pics when I get the rest of the stuff.

PS. I have 4GBs (2x 2GB) of DDR2 533mhz unbuffered with ECC support for sale cheap. PM me.
 
You spent ``new car value'' bucks on RAM without knowing what platform supports it? I am thoroughly confused with regards to your decision making process.
 
i would rather get that "car" over ram.
it's just a computer that will be outdated in a year or so and replaced with faster hardware
 
I'd sell two of those modules and spend it on something that'll give you bragging rights and practical use. But either way that's bad ass.

Unless the OP already has a (or more) supercar in the garage :D . Btw nice project.

There's a program that lets you do this. I wish I had the money to add 16gigs of ram. :(
 
As if I wasn't depressed enough now I feel even worse looking at that pic. And knowing he's got another 16GB on the way...

THAT SHIT JUST AIN'T FAIR, HOMEY... :D

Have fun with it.

There are applications where 32G of RAM is practical. Anyway, this is [H], things don't need to be practical :)

Err... where in my posts did I state such thing.
The platform is secondary. The RAM is primary. Hence, get RAM first then use it on which ever platform supports it.
In reality, there were only two choices: Registered DDR2 or FB-DIMM.

Again, since Intel is dropping FB-DIMM along with the problems it has, I pretty much had only one choice.

1. I have a car worth 3 times the worth of the 32GBs.
2. This is a really an investment while a car is a liability. ;)

What I have not stated thus far is that the experiments I plan on carrying could earn me so serious money.
I am just trying to keep it less business and more [H]ard.

I am not a gamer if that's what you are hinting to.
Pratical use for me is as much RAM as I can get.
Trust me, I would get 64GBs if it was within my comforts.

It is plenty fair. I have paid my dues. :D
Look at my sig to see what I am currently rocking.
 
Bleh, I was building an Altair in 1975 on a perfboard with resistors and capacitors the size of AA batteries, if anyone has paid dues it's me. 25+ years on dialup to boot. Yeah, I paid mine, in spades, with sugar on top. :D

I hope you get the results you're gunning for... if not, at least have fun doing it.
 
So, where did you get those from? Not like I could afford them anytime soon, but curiosity prevails :D.
 
What exactly are you doing with that much ram?

Gotta keep it classy... at least they are see-through... pick-a-boo...
I promise you they will all get bare bottom when the system gets built. ;)
 
damn $17,000 on ram will give you the bigest e-penis that I have ever seen. Maybe too big don't know of a single e-bagina that can handle that much.

What is it that you're doing, specifically? I'd love to learn more about it.

They're both depreciating assets, so neither is an investment or a liability. ;) :p

Of course.
I can see you've had your accounting classes.

However, in Finance, an asset that can earn you income (whether interest or wage) or reduce cost is an investment.

This is insurance for situations in which you (and the insurance company) are liable to a third party, not because the car is a liability.
Click to expand...

Still, the use of a car exposes you to a potential liability against which the law requires you to insure yourself.
 
Taken from Wikipedia:

"A yottabyte (derived from the SI prefix yotta-) is a unit of information or computer storage equal to one septillion (one long scale quadrillion or 1024) bytes. It is commonly abbreviated YB. At this time, no computer has one yottabyte of storage. "



YODABYTE "A lot of ram you have... Mmmm."
 
spectrumbx said:
Yes, both are assets, but you need to have liability insurance on one to use it.
Insurance on cars is required because they are a liability.
Click to expand...

you can't insure a liability. :LOL: you can insure your asset AGAINST liability, but that's completely different. people can be a liability too, with that interpretation of the word.

the debt you financied your car with IS a liability.

more confusing facts to come. ;)
