I do not know anyone offhand with a 200+GB RAM home computer. The GPU is not all that is needed; you need to keep the parameters and other stuff in memory too.

- Filligree 4y agoRunning it off a fast NVMe apparently works. I don't know what the performance is like, though.
- zargon 4y ago256gb of ddr4 rdimms only costs about $400 right now. $200 for ddr3. Not uncommon in homelabs. I don't think 200gb ram is actually required, that's just what that cloud vm was spec'd with. Though the 175b model should see benefit with ram even beyond 200gb.

- alex_sf 4y agoI have a similar setup. GPUs were $1.6k US, rest of the system was another ~$1k. This includes 256GB RAM and dual Xeons.
- zac_hudson 4y agoI bought an old server from ebay, and ripped the guts out to make a desktop computer. 128GB of ddr3 ram and 48 E5 v2 xeons for 300$.
