unless actually possible.
Should fit in my BP6 dual Celeron board right?
but still super capable. i have a homelab built on a trash can mac pro that is an absolute beast. despite ddr3 arch it has ECC ram, 12C24T xeon cpu, dual gig ethernet, etc. Only downside really is power efficiency compared to newer arches. but building that was just under $300 otd.
but i'd throw this cpu into a rig without blinking if it were half price. or at least I'd be quite tempted. there isn't a lot out there for 24c48t

So if you don't need tons of ecc and pcie lanes and you can wait that might be the chip to get.

also no one needs this crap, for a desktop gaming pc and a server. you should keep them separate on a rack
You want dedicated OS to handle games, dedicated OS to handle storage or VMs. I have my storage isolated from my gaming PC windows 11, using iscsi over 10Gbps lan as an example running, zfs , with parity. It will cost more but is the proper way to do things
true nas core
true nas scale
unraid
etc
Also, this PC uses DDR4 RDIMMs, not regular DDR4. For 128GB sticks of memory (these PCs have 8 channels, you could spend over $10,000 on memory easy).

What caused such a spike on older gen RAM?

What caused such a spike on older gen RAM?
But what happened is that 3 big companies make most of the top tier memory in the world - Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron. All 3 are making a lot more money making AI memory, and they've noticed that no one is buying DDR4 memory, so all 3 have announced they would stop producing it. However, it is still used in a lot of older PCs.
Used memory won't change as much in price unless demand spikes - and that won't change - but prices have spiked so much on DDR4 (and no one making it except a couple of Chinese companies). So much so that Hynix, etc are going to start making it again. However, it takes 90 days from starting a wafer to getting finished RAM chips.
For those wondering why I say only 3 memory makers - everyone buys chips from one of these 3, after the big OEMs like Lenovo, HP, and Dell get their pick.
DDR5 memory (especially higher end SKUs) will be the most expensive - latest memory always is. Right now, it is 48GB DIMMs for regular DDR5, and 128-256GB RDIMMs for servers.
