My server has been off hiding somewhere far away from me for a while, so I’ve been running virtual machines on an AMD FX-8320 990FX based box. Unfortunately it only had 16GB of RAM and I gutted the server RAM for use in my workstations.

I’ve decided to order some used ECC Registered 4GB sticks off of eBay — 32GB ought to do for now. I won’t have to worry about whether I can launch a new VM due to RAM constraints (I was using a lot of swap before!), so titan.frankd.lab will soon be back online with the FX-8320 machine for failover. I’m going to need shared storage, so I’ll have to setup a real iSCSI storage box soon.

End short random thought.
