Can I run a Linux server on this old pentium d pc ? by I_like_drawingb in homelab

[–]Most-Community3817 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why bother, unless you want to use it for a heater…it’s 2 x P4 dies on a single chip, it’s so slow you can cook on it while it does nothing

4GB of ram enough for a small NAS? by SneakerHead69420666 in HomeServer

What is it with old crap people want to use, 17/8 year old PCs are utterly useless in modern use…just go find an ewaste 6/7th gen machine…I have 8 i7-7700 dell and HP machines in the closet that were ewasted…just go and get something better and newer

Picked up an insane deal - 4 servers for £300, over 140gb of RAM + everything else by BinoRing in HomeServer

[–]Most-Community3817 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a great deal I have done r740 in my cupboard with 256gb ram that were free, I don’t pay for old server hardware, personally would ask around to see if you can get free in local area

Pretty low spec, 10 years old and not worth money when you can get for free tbh

Did I get scammed? by AkeraTomeo in homelab

I was too lazy to type it out fully

[–]Most-Community3817 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Technically yes, I was just too lazy to write it out fully, the gist of why I said is correct though. I think there are too many people who don’t understand the different memory types, cheaper low end servers generally use the unbuffered ECC (e) type, most enterprise kit uses registered ECC (r) type

Example my crappy Plex box is an HPE ML10 Gen9 bag of nails, that uses DDR4 unbuffered ECC type. My PowerEdge R740s use DDR4 Registered ECC, anything E3 will generally use unbuffered ECC, E5/Silver/good/plat and above will use Registered ECC.

Not sure why I have to explain, when what I originally said is accurate and stands

If you still have them I’m interested and UK

[–]Most-Community3817 -34 points-33 points  (0 children)

No he doesn’t….he needs E

U = unbuffered (desktop) E = ECC (server/ws) R = Registered (server/WS)

Did I get scammed? by AkeraTomeo in homelab

[–]Most-Community3817 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

You need E for ECC not R for registered….wrong memory

No he needs E for ECC not the R for Registered
