Looking for a HTPC / rackmount case that looks good as I want to put this next to my entertainment set. Found http://nanoxia-world.com/en/products/cases/project-s/369/project-s-silber?c=40 . Any other I should look at ? Jay

So a board like https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/X99E_WSUSB_31/specifications/ , if I have a Xenon chip, it will support more than 128 GB using say 32 GB dimms ?

I am trying to fix a performance issue and looking for a software that can give me a list of files a given program (Win 10) calls and how many time that file got called, how much data that got read etc. Looks like Process Monitor from MS can do a real time view but not log ? Jay

I need lots or Ram (Need to setup a Ramdisk to do stat analysis in real-time) . Looks like X99 based MB max out at 128GB, what are my other options. I looked at Server MB but they don't have other items I want like M.2 or multiple PCI-3 slots ? Also any recommendation on a Ramdisk software for...

Only one M.2 works at 32 GB. I will wait for Z270 MB's

Oh well I will just wait few months for Kaby Lake and use this system as a media server

I am assuming if I move to a PCI 3.0 MB then I can use it for VR, Finding a PCI 3.0 MB seems to be hard. Will try ebay.

I got the 3-year-old system with P67 Extream6 MB with Core I7 2600K / LGA 1155. I like to use this with HTC VR and looks like the only bottleneck is the PCI bus for a good graphics card. What is a good LGA 1155 compatible MB that has PCI 3.0 or should I give up and get a new MB / CPU Thanks...

some of the HEDP CPU's support 128 GB over 4 lanes . https://ark.intel.com/products/94188/Intel-Core-i7-6850K-Processor-15M-Cache-up-to-3_80-GHz

Been searching for one and I can't seem to find. Is this a limitation of the chipset, Z170 MB all max out at 64GB but they have 2 or 3 M.2 Slots. X99 MB can support 128GB but they only have 1 M.2. May be I should wait for Z270 ? Thanks Jay

Agree with you 100%, sometimes they use the same PCI lanes. As for the Startech card its SATA 3 so dont see a point putting 2 960 on them.

Thanks for the video link. Dont know if there are hardware RAID cards that take advantage of NVM M.2 interface.

I have not bought it. 960 EVO is $125 each and will be for sales in few weeks. The RAID part, is that hardware RAID as part of the Z170 chipset?

I am looking for a Motherboard / SSD Combo that can give me the best read / write performance for a software development PC (Compilers, Database etc). Currently I am looking at 2 * SAMSUNG 960 EVO M.2 250GB NVMe on a Gigabyte LGA1151 Intel Z170 with 2 x M.2 Socket 3 connectors running on RAID...
