Considered using an older DDR3 server for modern gaming. Thought about newer software with updated instruction sets. Asked if DDR3 can handle game server tasks. Interested in using affordable ECC RAM. Looking to run Ark Ascended with Discord bots and a GSM. Checked capacity—seems it supports up to 256 GB.

DDR3 offers sufficient speed for such a server. The CPU remains a bigger priority, yet any Xeon E5 line supports the required instruction set and ECC memory.

Which server are we discussing? The DDR3 specs aren't very revealing, and the type of server or CPUs used play a bigger role. What's the cost of this setup? Often, game servers benefit from quicker processors, so a desktop-grade CPU tends to boost performance while saving power.

It seems you have a project ahead of you.

I discovered this in my search history. The link points to the specification page. I bought some used equipment from an auction for around $65, but unfortunately, the RAM and hard drives were also removed. The unit contains two Intel Xeon E5620 processors.

Also grabbed a few more, though the CPU only handles 64 gigabytes of DDR4. Should I run at the lower limit for quicker performance? https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-us/...0/overview

The E5000 chips belong to the first and second generation Core design. At $65, it’s a bit modest unless it includes RAM or storage.

If you're using the latest servers, they'll handle things better and use less power, making the older model unnecessary. You won't need the entire 64GB of RAM—likely 16GB will suffice.

Do you already possess this setup? These solutions are nearing their limit and may no longer fit your needs, but if available, go for it. Consider the DDR3 ECC RAM—it's affordable now. A N100 mini PC would consume roughly a tenth of the power, offer double the single-threaded performance, and be significantly cheaper when factoring in energy costs, making these outdated setups less practical for most scenarios.

64gb should definitely suffice for these tasks. The main issue is that the only available option is udimm ecc, which usually adds a significant price bump. You seem to be limited to quad-core processors. I’d generally prefer a r330 over a r710. I’d aim for a used office desktop if you’re willing to shop around. It’s likely a more suitable choice for what you need.
