okay :)Theoretically yes, but you need at least 16gb of ram, to run Freenas smoothly...
the Dell T5500 has 9 DIMM Slots, it supports ECC Registered Dimms, up to 8GB/Slot for a maximum of 72GB.
What you will find in our market is "USED" 1 or 2gb only, so the maximum you can get is 2gb*9=18gb of ram.
each will cost you around 150 Egp. x 7 pieces = 1050 Egp. (you have already 2*2gb installed on the machine)
you need also an Intel NIC but i got one used for less than 5$
RAM = 1050 L.E
Machine = 2400 L.E
---------------------
Total = 3450 L.E.
which i believe is too much for a used, outdated and impossible to upgrade machine in compare to a new recommended build :)
about the RAM i called the guy who was selling that DELL and asked him if we can uograde the RAM to 16 G he told me that it will be available 8gb and i think the price would be 3150 Egp but i can try to bargain my way :)
but of course i'm not sure if "he knows what he is talking about" so i have to visit the used PCs mall first and make a surveillance - atleaset to get the intel NIC
and i have to see what are the AMD processors available and their motherboards
i was thinking
AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz Six Core 14MB Processor AM3+
900 Egp
ASUS M5A78L-M LX V2 Socket AM3
is this one support ECC???? and i will check the used RAM ECC if they have 8 gb ones
and of course the power supply and case
