Is there a way to calculate/estimate how much 32GB DDR (667MHz) RAM is equivalent of DDR2/DDR3 RAM?

It shouldn't bog down a SSD, however if the connections aren't sata6 gb/sec then there is almost no point to useing a SSD (can get similar performance using velociraptors in raid).

So 32gb of DDR ram would be a good as lets say 4gb of DDR2? If you had to pick, which would you pick? 32gb DDR or 4gb DDR2?

It doesn't work that way... A task only uses a certain amount of memory, and if the memory it uses is faster it will always be faster. Having 5million GB of memory won't help if your computer is only using 5gb, a computer with 6gb of memory that is faster will still be faster. memory running at 667 mhz you listed is half as fast as the slow ddr3 (1333 mhz) so it will do all memory related activities half as fast (roughly)


additionally where does one find a motherboard that will hold 32 separate memory sticks? ddr to my knowledge only ever came in 1gb sticks max.

Also any computer using ddr is only going to be 32bit, which generally only uses 4gb maximum

Its a Dell Poweredge 1950 that I purchased on the cheap. Would the DDR1 bottleneck a SSD if I put I put one in?

x2 64-bit Intel Xeon E5430 @ 2.66 GHz

I dont currently have the machine on hand(Should have it Thursday), but I was told it has ubuntu 12.04 64bit on it.

I guess the last question I have is what are you wanting to do with this thing? just set it up as a server? Every poweredge 1950 I saw had 8 memory slots, so if you have 32gb in it, it can't be ddr1, to my knowledge (granted my old server knowledge is very small).

I am thinking of sticking them(I got multiple) into some datacenter. I am not sure if the specs I was given are correct, but I got them on the cheap so its all good.

Thank you so much for answering my questions. Any chance you know what the bare minimum average colocation cost?
