Hurrian | yep brolin_empey? | 04:53 |
brolin_empey | Did you see my messages from yesterday? | 05:04 |
Hurrian | nah, left shortly after my last message to get stuff installed in my car | 05:05 |
brolin_empey | Then can you look back to read the messages? | 05:06 |
Hurrian | well, I did say it was worth a try with those 4GBx4 DDR2 modules, since it worked on a same-era intel chipset | 05:07 |
brolin_empey | Said RAM modules have still not arrived despite being shipped on 2018‑07‑15. eBay says that the end of the ETA is 2018‑09‑06, which I added to my calendar. I hope they still arrive. | 05:20 |
brolin_empey | I can try to ask the eBay seller of this motherboard if they can test with 4×4-GiB DDR2 DIMMs. | 05:21 |
brolin_empey | I guess I should still try to get around to finding the cost of buying a LGA1366 (Socket B?) motherboard + compatible CPU and DDR3 DIMM(s) as an alternative to staying with Socket T motherboards. | 05:24 |
Hurrian | if they miss the ETA, complain to eBay and get it refunded | 05:24 |
Hurrian | also, single socket LGA1366 boards are way overpriced for the performance you'd get on them, dual socket boards ship for about the same price | 05:25 |
brolin_empey | Can a dual socket board work with only one CPU socket used? | 05:26 |
Hurrian | yeah, but given how cheap an X5650 can be had for, it's just $25 to get a second CPU | 05:27 |
brolin_empey | What is X5650? | 05:28 |
Hurrian | it's a LGA1366 CPU | 05:29 |
brolin_empey | Will it be much faster than a C2D E8400 or C2Q Q9450? | 05:30 |
Hurrian | http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Xeon-X5650-vs-Intel-Core2-Quad-Q9450 | 05:31 |
Hurrian | hands down, yeah | 05:31 |
brolin_empey | So around $50 (USD?) for two LGA1366 CPUs? How much for the motherboard and RAM, at least 8 GiB but preferably at least 16 GiB? | 05:34 |
Hurrian | https://www.ebay.com/itm/Micron-VLP-16GB-4x4GB-DDR3-PC3-10600R-1333-MHz-240-Pin-ECC-REG-RDIMM-Server/302819138597 | 05:42 |
Hurrian | 4GB per DIMM ECC DDR3 registered memory is getting sold pretty much by the bucket nowadays | 05:42 |
Hurrian | and with a dual socket server having an average of 12 DIMM slots (triple channel, 2 DIMM per channel) you can make some really crazy setups | 05:44 |
brolin_empey | So 48 GiB maximum with 4-GiB DIMMs. | 05:51 |
Hurrian | yeah | 05:54 |
Hurrian | make sure you populate both memory banks equally unless your OS is NUMA aware | 05:54 |

brolin_empey | Is any of this local to me stuff worth buying? | 06:05 |
Hurrian | the $50 motherboard looks worth it, try asking if you can get the heatsink and RAM for $80 | 06:08 |
Hurrian | then just order a X5650 and overclock the balls off of it | 06:08 |
