My setup is as follows:
Asus P7P55D-E Pro
Intel I7 - 860 Quad CPU.
8GB Ram
AMD Radeon HD 6800
Western Digital VelociRaptor WD3000GLFS 300GB 10000 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5"
Western Digital WD Black WD1002FAEX 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5"
=======================================
Question:
I need to build a test server for study that will run the following:
Windows Server 2012
Windows SQL Server 2012
Windows SharePoint Server 2013
** I am short on memory and I have read several threads where people have trouble expanding this MB to 16GB. I would also like to go to 24GB Ram for this setup as those are the minimum build specs on this platform.
Any thoughts?
I really may just try to go to 16GB if I can find the right memory and make it work.
I would like to salvage the CPU, it was expensive and is really a killer CPU for home/test use.
Has anyone upgraded to a newer/better motherboard that can handle more memory and still use these components?
I also may go to a fast SSD for the OS. I have not looked at these in a couple years and I imagine we have some nice affordable choices now.
