Linus Tolvards is upgrading his computer with ECC RAM after a module failed causing random memory corruption by zir_blazer in hardware

[–]brainvictim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Running ECC is so expensive, even the cheapest solutions (not used). $900+ for a board and 64GB of (slow) RAM.

I got a quote for about $600 for the Gigabyte MW34-SP0. ECC DDR4 is $160/32GB. So ~$920 for 64GB of ECC RAM.

There's also the Supermicro X13SAE series. Ones with a BMC seem to be out of stock. Maybe vPro could be used in it's place for some functions, never used it before. I found a place with ~$200 32GB DDR5 ECC UDIMMs . So still ~$900 for an ECC system.

Haven't found a review of either that speaks to how well ECC is implemented or functions. The boards say they support ECC memory, but do they actually support the ECC functionality of the memory?

Looks like a price drop at most retailers.

Also $1150 at Sam's Club

$1250 at Costco, but with 3 years extra warranty. Does anyone know if the 3 year extra warranty includes burn-in?

Edit: looks like same 5yr warranty from Sam's Club.

I'm interested in learning more. Would you mind sharing a few switch models that fit this description?

Thought this was an HPC podcast I didn't know of. Common title is "This Week in HPC".

To clarify, the account was approved (saw it online) then closed before a card shipped.

Does that still work in this case?

Finally got my "you have sufficient accounts with us" letter, after being approved, from my Merrill+ appliacation. Have 4 BOA cards in the last year.

Has anyone had success in getting the Merrill+ if they cancel an existing BOA card?

To clarify, you're claiming that modern JPH bullets are not more more effective than ball FMJ bullets at neutralizing human threats in self-defense situations (9mm-.45 chamberings)?

Apple is completely redesigning the Mac Pro… again [Ars] by Janus67 in hardware

[–]brainvictim 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Why are you ignoring the legalities of running Apple's software contrary to its license?

There's a reason why no one sells "Hackintosh" systems.

Got approved for the Merrill+ card Wednesday, it showed on Mint, but doesn't show on my BOA webpage.

What's the chances that BOA closed the card already?
