    In terms of RAM it’s not impossible, my current little server has 192GB of RAM installed.

    The VRAM would be quite the hurdle though, I’m curious on it’s requirements for VRAM

    Edit: Moving data in anticipation of a hardware migration ATM so basically none of the services are running.

        It’s pretty old hardware to say the least, it’s also really proprietary. (Old Dell PowerEdge T610)

        My hardware migration I’m currently in the midst of is going to bring it more in line with my typical use case for it.

        Basically taking it down from 192 GB of ECC DDR3 to around 32 GB (maybe 64 GB) of DDR4 RAM. Also down to a single CPU rather than dual socket.

          Old Epyc boards are super cheap on eBay. 8 channels of ddr4 and 80-100 lanes of pcie for nvme on an ATX mobo. You pay for the idle power consumption, but it’s pretty cheap overall.

            I’m just going with a Ryzen 1600x system because I have one on hand

            My current system has a pair of 12 thread Xeon CPUs and I really don’t need them, plus I’m wanting to go with normal consumer hardware for the new system for repairability reasons

        Hot damn that’s a lot! They ain’t messing around with that requirement.

        My current server has 32 MB of VRAM. Yes, MB not GB. Once I finish the hardware migration it’s going to 8GB but that’s not even a drop in the bucket compared to that requirement.
