This is considered old? And someone thinks it doesn't have enough RAM? I still run a Bulldozer 8150 from 2012 as a full time server. RAM is dirt cheap so it has 64 gigs. This isn't even an old server by my standards, but it's the oldest server where I'm running the same kinds of things I'd usually run on newer hardware (SearXNG, Akkoma, qemu with multiple VMs, et cetera). It's trivial to max out memory on old systems with a small spend on eBay, and lots of us have had VMs with ancient JVMs to deal with shitty, insecure IPMI that requires Java from the turn of the millennium. It's funny how old servers, like my AlphaServer DS25, have no problems doing things correctly - yes, the OOB management can be made available via the network, but by default it's accessible via serial. I personally don't want a system that defaults to insecure if the CMOS battery dies and default settings are loaded. But unfortunately, most IPMI is both insecure and defaults to on. So, for these reasons, I'd trust an AlphaServer, but I wouldn't trust most newer machines with IPMI, particularly ones old enough to possibly have a CR2032 that could be nearing end of life.
