What is the cheapest desktop you can build with 1.5 TB of ddr4 ram?
- SethTro 6y agoIt's pretty standard to have 8 slots [1] on motherboards and rarely 16 slots [2] 64 gig DDR4 modules cost ~$300 [3] 128 gig DDR4 server modules can cost as little as ~$800 [4] 8x64 = 0.5 TB of DDR4 ram = 8300 = $2,400 16x128 = 1.5 TB of DDR4 ram = 16800 = $12,800 [1] https://www.amazon.com/TRX40-AORUS-PRO-Fins-Array-Motherboard/dp/B081JCCGQR/?tag=li-org-main-20 https://www.amazon.com/TRX40-AORUS-PRO-Fins-Array-Motherboar...

- msbarnett 6y agoThat’s just the RAM cost, though. The threadripper TRX40 platform supports 256GB max RAM, and the epyc you linked tops out at 1TB. Just finding a cpu and mobo that will host 1.5 TB is a multi-thousand dollar expense all on its own.
