256 gb of ram

[ItsMinJunLol]

Hi guys! I was wondering if I can shove 256 gb of ram in a 8 slot mobo. What kind of processor do I need if I want to have 256 gigs of ddr4 ram? I want to configure it to use approx 192 gb as a high-speed memory that gets dumped into my hard drive. Thanks!

Ok so do you want the RAM as storage?

[Guest]

Which mobo?

You need at least win 8/10 pro 64bit for that

I think some x99 mobo should do. Not sure of skylake

 

I don't think there are 32gb slot ram. best is 16x8 but I could be wrong

One of the easiest reasons I can come up with is scrolling through 4K video in Adobe Premiere

I will say it again, are you sure you need it?

 

If you are, looks like X99 supports only up to 128GB, but that should suffice, honestly.

some sort of  serve board, and some sort of zeon that'll support more than 128gb

well, you would need a mobo that supports ECC memory, as there is little to none that isnt non-ECC memory, as well as you will need a 64-bit OS (windows pro level or higher)

as for the 192 gb being used, you will need to look into software/hardware that can be used to make a ram disk

as for price, amazons cheapest 4x 32gb kit(or 128gb) is roughly 630 USD so, you will need alot of cash on that front

Having a RAM disk that size (which is what I assume you mean) is the most pointless thing I've ever heard of. Get a slow SSD and call it a day. Trust me, I've done both, and one of the two is practical.

Have you heard of titan x with minecraft? That's even more pointless

[ItsMinJunLol]

Yes, that I can use it as high speed mem while my pc is on. I know everything erases if it powers off, so I will probs have multiple terabytes of hdd.

I'll use win 10 pro 64-bit

 

There is one, but only ddr3 https://www.amazon.com/Kingston-Registered-Workstation-KVR13LR9Q4-32/dp/B008L5HUQ8

Budget does not matter. I was planning to use a xeon processor and a random 8-slot mobo that supports 256 gb of ram. I saw linus's vid about configing your ram as memory, so I will follow his instructions.

Yea I think I might have to use a server board

No, but It's just for fun and I want to finally run chrome . I will share the ram to my fam after this test.

I would just do 128GB then

 

You can still fit Fallout 4 in that much RAM.

Tbh, my friend's doing this, and he just asked me to help him.

[Lilithty]

@ItsMinJunLol Well. you can go the reasonable route. or you can get sticks of 64GBs of DDR4 2133 LRDIMMs..... 600 USD each

That's my life, friend, don't insult it.

I like to think that you're an exception. Your system is truly unique.

oh wow, that's expensive.

[Lilithty]

@ItsMinJunLol Yea. I already researched this whole thing a while ago. A friend wants a server with 1.5 TB of RAM.

0.0 btw I can't find the 64 gb ram stick.

[Guest]

Would thos RAM be enough for Chrome though

[Lilithty]

@ItsMinJunLol you dont need that for this build. Something like this would be fine. http://pcpartpicker.com/list/mxfcxY 

If you want me to I can put some more research into this.

my build cost the same as the mobo alone

@ItsMinJunLol That seems Inaccurate :/..... I think......

Don't do this get a ssd.

 

Your OS will cache your files and hdd in ram already.

 

 

[Lilithty]

@ItsMinJunLol Yea.... this is fun to talk about. but please. there are better options. Much better options.

The ram you are going to find in that capacity is going to be registered ecc ram, which won't work on normal desktop motherboards, so you can't really share it unless your family all have xeons, and workstation/server boards.

 

Also there isn't a choice to use windows 10 pro or not, windows 10 home only has support for up to 128gb of ram.
