Will ram bottleneck me?

[SimssmiS]

So i´m thinking about my choice of cpu for my server:

Intel Xeon W3670 6x 3,2ghz with hyperthreading x12

but it only supports 1066 mhz ram

also whats the difference between the e and w cpus? 

 

What shall the server run/ be used for:

- NAS for work and private files in my house (and if possible accessible from the Internet not sure thou) 

- Plex Media Server (transcoding for 1-2 people at a time)

- Git

- Svn

- Win 7 / Linux (maybe OSX) running server applications for games and software not as game servers but for testing

- any Ideas you guys might have

RAM should be fine. I´d be more worried about read speeds of that system drive and storage.

do you see a problem or is this just a reminder (i'm confused :D)

[Otomaru]

From what you said it is going to be used for, storage responsiveness is more important than ram speed when hit by multiple instances. As far as i can tell big and fast ram is beneficial to content creation and really busy servers.

You'll be fine for all your uses, RAM speed makes very little difference in most tasks and only certain games benefit from faster speed.
