That's actually pretty decent, 2x m.2 disks, nice gpu, but still only 2x sodimm slots sadly. I don't think they do 64gb sodimm sticks in ddr4, so still stuck at 64gb with 2x 32gb. Memory is always my largest problem, I still commonly OOM with 64gb of ram. Occasionally I would even OOM my 128gb desktop. Yeah, I *could* use less ram, but it hampers my ability to work with various customers and/or various technologies in the name of virtual appliances I commonly run for testing, tinkering, and learning. -mb On Fri, Jul 23, 2021 at 9:32 AM Stephen Partington via PLUG-discuss < plug-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org> wrote: > The Dell G5 5505 is the closest i have seen from one of the big box crew. > > On Fri, Jul 23, 2021 at 9:01 AM Stephen Partington > wrote: > >> I would love that setup as well.
