Over the last few days, I've come back to Etorix's idea of buying more recent hardware, for example with the ASRock Rack E3C246D4U2-2T motherboard.
Despite the higher price, it's true that this board has a better datasheet than the Supermicro board, especially for the 10 GB Ethernet ports.
However, on reading the documentation, I realize that it is said to be compatible with Intel® Xeon® E series -2100/E-2200 processors.
Having looked into the matter, these processors are, as it happens, really out of my price range (on average €150-200 for a Xeon E-2136).
So I was wondering, are the Xeon E3-127xx v6 compatible with this motherboard?
If not, what is the reason for the much higher price of the Xeon® E -2100/E-2200 series?
Thanks in advance!
