Given this situation, the only 8GB RAM dimms I found are ECC. Does that mean I must buy an ECC-supporting motherboard only? What will happen if I put ECC RAMs on an Asus P8P67 for example? (asus.com says: 4 x DIMM, Max. 32 GB, DDR3 2200(O.C.)*/2133(O.C.)/1866(O.C.)/1600/1333/1066...

To get some Xeon's that would have similar performance with sandy/980x would require double amount of money, if not more. Probably buying sandy cheap and RAM expensive is the best way to go

Then can't buy Sandy Bridge (i7 2600k), will have to go with i7 Extreme 980X which is 4 times more expensive then i7 2600k here, but be limited at 24GB RAM for good (will *probably* need more than 24GB)

I need it ASAP, that's why I need to make sure I make a good investition given today's possibilities

All I can find are MB's similar to Asus P8P67 with 4 memory slots, planning an i7 2600K acquisition but this is my main problem. I need 24GB (+), but 8GB memories are very expensive. Any suggestions?

I've been using software RAID-0 on my linux server with 2 HDDs @ 7200rpm (on a Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R + Intel i7 930) for a while, but recently something strange started to happen... every 30min-2-4hours the CPU goes sky high, most of it being used by the linux kernel: (green=normal...

n7, what does that mean exactly? What should/can I do?

I'm using 3x2GB Corsair DDR3 1333MHz CL9 XMS3 + 3x4GB Kingston ValueRAM 4GB DDR3 1333MHz CL9 on my Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R. Unfortunately I don't have physical access to the server for a week or so, but I did admidecode --type 17 on my Ubuntu 10.04 and got: # dmidecode 2.9 SMBIOS 2.4 present...

Are there any advantages/disadvantages for having an i7 over a Xeon for a server? Which would be best? Some say Xeon

Quite expensive and I don't really need 24GB right now and won't need it in the near future

I had some second thoughts and was thinking at a Kingston SSD 64GB V-Series V+: Read up to 230MB/s, write up to 180MB/s. Intel V 40GB looks way slower. About the usage, not quite sure, it's for a MMORPG game server to hold 1000+ online players: Most probably something like: - Server...

Romanian currency is different from US one, thus at a conversion from my currency to USD it may seem much for non-romanian

I need THE FASTEST HDD for my server, but it has to be SATA (I don't think I can afford SCSI). What should I choose? Currently I'm thinking at Kingston SSD 30GB, SATA, 2.5'', V-Series vs Western Digital VelociRaptor 150GB, 16MB, SATA2 vs Corsair Extreme. Any sugestions? I need at most 30GB...

i7 930 ~ 375$ 5620 ~ 562$ (converting from my currency to US$)

Xeon 5620 is +50percent more expensive here, I would afford it but only if the performance gain is decent
