I did some research because I want to learn. I see that the board supports PC2400. I am taking your advice and looking for a (two) v4 CPUs to put on it. I am concerned though because I am not sure about how licensing works. I have Server 2019 Standard 16 Core retail version. I am seeing these Matched Pair Intel Xeon E5-2690 V4 E5-2680 V4 E5-2660 V4 E5-2650V4 LGA2011-3 CPU | eBay (the E5 2680 v4) and they are (AFAIK) 14 core. I am guessing what I need is two CPUs with 8 cores each, so I guess those won't work. Am I correct? Should I be looking for 8-core CPUs at 2.4 Ghz?
I'm sorry if my continued discussion is annoying. I'm really trying to understand and learn. You are not wasting your time. I bought the barebones chassis you recommended. Should be here in about 5-8 days.
