Difference between server-grade RAM and desktop-grade RAM?
2010年11月21日 · buffered vs unbuffered RDIMM -- Some server DIMMS will have a BUFFER or REGISTER chip designed to re-broadcast the CA (command/address) signals to all the DRAMS on the DIMM. This reduces load on the CA bus, but has the negative effect of slowing everything down by 1 D-clock (think cas latency here, you will get a +1 on all timings)
memory - Difference between 2Rx4 vs 2Rx8 RAM - Server Fault
2011年5月26日 · 2R == 2 RANKS, this is the number of chip selects each DIMM module has. x4 == data-bus width of each DRAM (chip) DDR* memory bus width is 64-bits wide. So a single 1Rx8 (non-ecc, unbuffered) DIMM will have 8 DRAMS (chips) ... 1Rx4 will have 16 1Rx16 will have 4. Ranks, on the other hand, are 64-bit arrays that share the bus.
Will 'Desktop' RAM work in a Rack Server? - Server Fault
2021年7月22日 · 3. Yes, it will. ASSUMING IT FITS - and given that pretty much any rack server is using a different standard than desktop machines, the answer is.... most likely not. And the detailed answer is: Read the manuals. As in: You state "I have found this PDF which explains memory requirements.
Would you use ECC RAM in a workstation? - Server Fault
2009年5月7日 · The only RAM-related crashes I'm aware of on workstations are due to bad RAM or bad applications, never something that ECC would have prevented. It makes some (read: still only a tiny bit) of sense on servers where you're crunching terabytes of data constantly, but on workstations maybe the only thing that gets close is high-end graphics ...
windows - Laptops - RAM vs Disk for performance - Server Fault
2009年4月30日 · In the perfect world I could get everything I want, however budgets for new laptops are low so I normally can get a user a laptop + additional RAM (to at least 4Gb). This has been mostly motivated by Vista's RAM eating abilities - however I have always thought that putting in a faster drive (i.e. not the standard 5400rpm drive) would have a ...
error handling - Server RAM vs PC RAM - Server Fault
2012年5月30日 · Due to the implementation of ECC, these RAMs are a bit slower than their PC counterparts and are pretty expensive too. On the other hand, PC RAMs are manufactured for speed. These RAMs neither have ECC or are they compatible. Hence PC RAMs are faster than a Server RAM however, prone to crash or data loss when subjected to higher amounts of stress.
Are Intel Core i3/i5/i7 Processors Server-Grade?
But my laptop has an Intel core i3 processor, which makes it more likely a desktop processor than a server processor. When I spoke to one of the web hosting company's tech support official about this, he told me that their "i3 processor comes bundled with ECC/Registered DDR3 RAM on a server-class motherboard (socket LGA1156)."
Is it better to have more small ram chips or fewer large ones?
This may leave some slots available for more RAM at a later date if necessary. When you decommission the server 3+ years from now, the 4 GB chips are more likely to be useful for salvaging than the 2 GB ones. I doubt having lots of chips would give you any noticeable performance improvements in most scenarios. Share.
How does a 32-bit machine support more than 4 GB of RAM?
20. To support more than 4 GB memory Windows uses Physical Address Extension (PAE). It uses paging tables to map the memory greater than 4 GB. By doing this the physical address size is increased to 36 bits, or 64 GB. PAE is used in 64-bit OS'es as well; in this case the maximum size is doubled to 128 GB. This method does mean that each process ...
DIMMs: Single vs. Double vs. Quad Rank - Server Fault
Dual-rank DIMMs are also better than quad-rank DIMMs because quad-rank DIMMs will cause the memory speed to be down-clocked. Another important guideline is to populate equivalent ranks per channel. For instance, mixing one single-rank DIMM and one dual-rank DIMM in a channel should be avoided. Ultimately, the effect of the number of memory ...
