don't do it it doesn't support VT-D! well dont do it if you want to use pass though on esxi :S/… which apparently i do.
?
that's just what I said no VT-DF?
sure you can upgrade to a xeon… but that adds another 400+ bux… might as well just buy the microserver with the gen 8 built in - or just make your own box…the microservers are good cause they are an all in one solution that's nice and small… bit of a pain as I've had to spend quite a bit on mine… extra RAM, separate RAID card…and now the CPU…
looking for one of the xeon processors now, but cant find anything reasonably priced.
Is this one better than n54L? My n36L just died, possibly the power supply. Need to get another one as a torrent box.
You can fit more HDD's in to the older models using adaptors, but this 8th Gen device is definitely faster as-is, and upgradable to a Xeon CPU.
Not to mention other LGA-1155 cpus. Theres a list somewhere of cpus that have been shown to be compatible.
I was considering upgrading from my N54L. But because of the largely ECC RAM requirement (I know there are a few non ECC that can be used), I decided to stay put. Didn't want to spend more money on RAM. And CPU, as the 35W of this Celeron model is a larger draw than the N54L's 25W.
If you're happy with the N36L, why not just buy a new PSU? Or a picoPSU even. I just got one, about to try it out.
