bauwser Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Hello everyone, looking to build my first NAS and decided unraid was the way to go. My friend gave me an OLD pc that is running ddr2 ram. Do I need something more modern or will this get the job done for now? Purposes I am looking for as of rn - backing up phone, backing up pc data, storing steam games that I dont play a lot. Thanks for the help! Just trying to figure out i this is worth setting up or if I need to get my old parted out pc reassembled! Quote Link to comment
JonathanM Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Type of RAM is less important than quantity. Does it have 4GB RAM? Quote Link to comment

Does it have 4GB RAM? rn it has 2, if it should work I will spend the $20 on ebay and get 8gb. Will be a lot cheaper than getting 75% of my newer pc up and running lol Quote Link to comment
tjb_altf4 Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Unraid requires a 64-bit CPU, I don't think there where any x86-64 processors that had DDR2. Quote Link to comment
