I’ve had well over 100 FF tabs running. Multiple plex encoders/streams running at once with the FF tabs, two VMs, music streaming, everything. Bottleneck is always the CPUs/motherboard. I’ve always run Linux and never been a g*mer so graphics has never been an issue. ram utilization never got about 25-30% before it would shit the bed. It’s a z620 workstation with dual Xeon e5-2600v2’s. Ancient at this point. I have all eight ram slots populated w 24gb sticks of ddr3 ecc ram. Six in the main motherboard and two on the 2nd CPU’s daughter board. I got them for like 8 bucks a stick off eBay. I’ll never use it all, and I’ll never use it as it was intended for- mine was originally outfitted with dual quadro 4000’s in SLI.
It’s huge. It’s heavy. It’s loud. It’s hot. During the wintertime I just pop the side door off the case and heat my bedroom w it. It’s old and outdated but it still works when I turn it on so I’m gonna use it til it dies.
Thank you for this description, i seriously love your computer.
