Hi all!
I'm going to build a extra server (more storage (JBOD) and preferably cheaper than the current one) and I'm considering using a i3. I used the search by features on the Intel site for the Intel core family. I found only two i3's that satisfy the condition 'support ECC' and 'support at least 128 GB of memory'. They are 'embedded' and not available for sale in the Netherlands. It seems 9th gen Intel core supports only 64 GB and 10th doesn't support ECC. And therefore that the Intel core family is unsuitable for a server with 128 GB memory. Does anyone know if this is indeed the case? Thank you!

These are the specs…
If you do want 128 GB and a "cheaper" option, you should rather look at system which use RDIMM. Usual suspects: Second-hand Xeon E5 servers (Supermicro X9SR_, X9DR_), Xeon D-1500 (Supermicro X10SDV, AsRockRack D1541D4U), Atom C3000 (Supermicro A2SDi).
