Looking to change/add to my server setup from a Xeon E3-1230 to a dual or quad G34 socket. I plan on running ESXi 5 and I am curious on how the RAM/CPU free license works on multi socket setup, since there seems to be conflicting information out there.
1) Is the RAM truly 32GB max per CPU or system total. i.e, 4 socket system have 128gb max or 32gb max
2) If it's more than 32GB max is it more than 32GB per VM?
3) Can you do say 48 cores in a VM? (4x12 core magny cours)
4) How is ESXi 5 on the G34 socket from a stability and ease of use standpoint?
Thanks.
