so my daily use rig is as follows:
Dell Precision T5810
Xeon e5-1630 v4
64gb DDR4 2400T (2x16gb and 4x8gb)
Dell PCIe quad nvme card with 2x Samsung 512gb nvme (PM961 and SM951)
I use this machine to do light gaming
Division, Siege, L4D2, Killing Floor, Black Ops
photo editing with Lighroom
want to get to video editing eventually....
I was just given a machine from a friend as we were talking and I told him I want to beef up my esxi box. Instead he gives me a dual xeon e5 with 256gb ram...
I thought... well I could put 128gb ram in my machine... cuz I can!!! LOL... then was like.. meh whats the norm for today?
so should I just keep the ram in the esxi box as I already have an esxi box with dual e5 xeons and 128gb ram, this esxi box and will be setting up a freenas box for iscsi for vms for the esxi boxes..
so thoughts? I don't want to just put the ram in and be like.. well I have it.. but never use it..
like having a 800hp z06 and sitting in traffic!!!!
