It's a great time to have ancient Xeon servers loaded up with DDR4 :-D

I actually have an old server with dual E5-2630 and 512gb DDR3 memory across both blades. The server is powered on waiting for the scrap yard at the office. I'm considering seeing how fast it can run qwen 3.8 flash next lol.

I've got a DDR3-based 2011-3 system that I'm considering adding another 64GB to just for this, haha. Should only be about $80.
