Older XEONs CPU for EVE-NG Labbing?
Posted: Sat May 23, 2020 5:59 am
how about getting older and used Xeon CPUs for SD-WAN labbing and possible other labs? How old is too old?
you can Custom Build HP Workstation Z620 and Z800 on Ebay via http://www.ebaystores.com/PC-Servers-an ... 581&_pgn=2
HP Z800 workstation support 2x Xeons CPUs mostly 4-, 6-cores and up to 192GB RAM. CPU supported are Intel Xeon X5500 from 2009-2011 and 2nd Generation Intel Xeon X5600 from 2011-2013.
HP Z620 support also 2 CPUs and 192 GB RAM. CPUs are newer Xeons with 4-,6-,8-, even 10-cores. Range are from E5-1603 to E5-2643, and E5-1607 v2, E5-2643 v2 to E5-26497v2.
Couple of Benefits of getting used stuff is low prices for those used CPUs and RAM. Adding 2nd CPU should be no problem.
I am looking up to $450-500 price range.
Any thoughts and suggestions
