    buying suggestions for DDR3 era workstations...

    I was talking to IT at work and we have a similar workload scenario... A single thread with a massive memory requirement... So they run it in an Azure rental. Storing the drive contents is cheap and the processing and ram requirements are cheap given he only uses the time he needs. Is this a...

    buying suggestions for DDR3 era workstations...

    Where do you live? I give away workstations to the impoverished for funsies. Edit: not a joke, despite someone's laugh react. I have a couple Precisions left. I'll check their RAM capacities Monday evening.

    Impressive. I was tempted to try 8180s but 6138s are so much cheaper and I already can't make use of all the cores

    CPU Upgrade went without issue. Use the latest BIOS. CPU 0 on my system tends to run about +10°C though

    I requested a 15% refund for my broken handle and it was sent without question. I've also loaded up the RAM to 12x16GB. Has anyone upgraded the CPUs in these? 2x 4110 -> 2x 6138 or similar?

    SOLD: 3 * Ruckus R720 wifi access points

    sth is being modest about what he's selling. Ideally you'd mount it somewhat centrally on the ceiling to get good coverage. I haven't yet installed mine centrally in my 2300sqft place but below is what I get with my cell phone on the opposite side of the house. Note this is also through the...

    Brocade ICX Series (cheap & powerful 10gbE/40gbE switching)

    Yeah I've been trying to convince myself of a 7250-48p instead as the power usage is lower and I have no realistic need for 40gbe... The seller is currently trying to convince me that the non-functional ports just needs to be enabled in software... Yeah dude, the whole switch is enabled except...

    Brocade ICX Series (cheap & powerful 10gbE/40gbE switching)

    Ah, nevermind. Bunch of dead ports. First time I've been burned in eBay in a decade. Beware that seller I guess as they claim it was fully tested. Damage didn't happen in shipping. It was very well packaged and the box is intact.
