For the 4gpu supermicro board X9DRG-QF I need 2 xeon's:
Supermicro | Products | Motherboards | Xeon® Boards | X9DRG-QF
I also have the previous gen mobo Super Micro Computer, Inc. - Products | Motherboards | Xeon Boards | X8DTG-QF
For both I need RAM.
I figure for the cpu's E5-2650 would be the best choice. The other 26xx that do 8GT/s are: 2637, 2643, 2650L, 2660, 2665, 2667, 2670, 2680, 2687W, 2690. If there is a better overall deal with any of these please let me know.
I know very little about the ES chips. I am nervous about them, but the retail prices are almost impossible to swallow. How bad are they? What exactly am I risking? Both workstations will just be number-crunchers, no VM's, so I guess Vt-d isn't important?
For RAM I am looking at either 8GB or 16GB sticks, depending on price.
tested RAM compatibility for both:
16GB
Samsung M393B2G70BH0-CH9
Hynix HMT31GR7AFR4C-H9, HMT31GR7BFR4C-H9
Kingston KVR13LR9D4/16HA, KVR13LR9Q8/16EF
8GB
Kingston
KVR13LR9D4/8HE
KVR13LR9D8/8EF
KVR13LR9S4/8HA
I may also need to get HD's for them. I'll check my inventory and update.
Thanks, and take care
