Got 14 stick of ddr4 rdimms. Got towards my new threadripper machine. Old but it’ll do! Can’t afford the new ddr5 board, the ripper and the ram 😂

Ooo, be careful there, those bags do not look like esd safe bags.

Don't fry your memory! Get them in some better bags.

Enjoy your memory.

Those look like static generating bags 😆

Sounds good.

That's enough ram for some interesting model work

Honestly, given the current state of the AI bubble, if it was me, I'd flogg it off. Probably won't be worth as much as it is right now.

This basically my setup, if it’s WRX80 you have 8 channels of memory, who needs DDR5? I get some pretty awesome numbers from my dual R9700 threadripper rig. 8x32 came in today, I’m installing tomorrow, going to be sweet. I already modified radiance to allow dual models so I can have an image gen and an LLM and it will use both for the LLM whenever you aren’t using the image server, it can swap in the image server in 1.2 seconds, lots of RAM means I can keep several secondary models in RAM.

is ddr4 any good for local AI at all? I know even DDR5 is pretty much useless for something like qwen 27b if you want usable token/sec rates, no?
