rofl cant deside on new hardware

Not sure if the SR-2 will work, yes its 48G ram but I dont think either of the CPU can get to the others ram:

Still about time they use server chips on a gamer board.


This time next year we might be using 8G chips or at least have gamer boards that can take them:

Then with 48G in ram we can get rid of the bottleneck from the SSD.


Those small fans on the firepro cards gonna be noisey though but could probably build a sound proof box around you computer at those prices.


Hey maybe it is possible: 32G and a PCIe slot:

Hey this board DOES take 32G (4 8G chips), 2 slots empty but run at 800Mhz max still so what.

Quad Rank
32GB (4x8GB)
800MHz, 1066MHz
800MHz

You need that board and 4 of these:

The 8G Kingstons.

Ok you can get 3 displays from this single slot card and its PCIe-2.0 X 16 which FITS the above motherboard:

There are you are; the whole wow folder in system ram! No SSD needed. Assuming 32G is enough for the wow folder and 25 clients.... gonna be real close though.
