brolin_empeyDid you see my messages from yesterday?05:04
Hurriannah, left shortly after my last message to get stuff installed in my car05:05
brolin_empeyThen can you look back to read the messages?05:06
Hurrianwell, I did say it was worth a try with those 4GBx4 DDR2 modules, since it worked on a same-era intel chipset05:07
brolin_empeySaid 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_empeyI can try to ask the eBay seller of this motherboard if they can test with 4×4-GiB DDR2 DIMMs.05:21
brolin_empeyI 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
Hurrianif they miss the ETA, complain to eBay and get it refunded05:24
Hurrianalso, single socket LGA1366 boards are way overpriced for the performance you'd get on them, dual socket boards ship for about the same price05:25
brolin_empeyCan a dual socket board work with only one CPU socket used?05:26
Hurrianyeah, but given how cheap an X5650 can be had for, it's just $25 to get a second CPU05:27
brolin_empeyWhat is X5650?05:28
Hurrianit's a LGA1366 CPU05:29
brolin_empeyWill it be much faster than a C2D E8400 or C2Q Q9450?05:30
Hurrianhttp://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Xeon-X5650-vs-Intel-Core2-Quad-Q945005:31
Hurrianhands down, yeah05:31
brolin_empeySo 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
Hurrianhttps://www.ebay.com/itm/Micron-VLP-16GB-4x4GB-DDR3-PC3-10600R-1333-MHz-240-Pin-ECC-REG-RDIMM-Server/30281913859705:42
Hurrian4GB per DIMM ECC DDR3 registered memory is getting sold pretty much by the bucket nowadays05:42
Hurrianand with a dual socket server having an average of 12 DIMM slots (triple channel, 2 DIMM per channel) you can make some really crazy setups05:44
brolin_empeySo 48 GiB maximum with 4-GiB DIMMs.05:51
Hurrianyeah05:54
Hurrianmake sure you populate both memory banks equally unless your OS is NUMA aware05:54

brolin_empeyIs any of this local to me stuff worth buying?06:05
Hurrianthe $50 motherboard looks worth it, try asking if you can get the heatsink and RAM for $8006:08
Hurrianthen just order a X5650 and overclock the balls off of it06:08
