November 14, 201312 yr So when unRaid 64 does come out, well I be able to run it on my current hardware and what benifit will I get? unRAID Pro 5.0 • Norco 4220 • Supermicro MBD-X7SBE • Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300 Yorkfield 2.5GHz 4MB L2 Cache • Kingston 4GB • SUPERMICRO AOC-SASLP-MV8 PCI Express x4 • CORSAIR CMPSU-650TX 650W
November 14, 201312 yr It should work on a X7SBE and Q8300. As to advantages - since it is 64 bit it will not have to use PAE to access memory above the 3-3.5GB mark so that should make the unRAID kernel more stable. Also it would likely remain just as stable if you were to go to 8GB. Supposedly the worry about > 4GB of memory in unRAID is gone but I have seen posts that suggest there are still the odd problem that the 4095 parameter used upon unRAID load fixes.
November 14, 201312 yr So when unRaid 64 does come out, well I be able to run it on my current hardware ... Yes ... what benifit will I get? If you're just using UnRAID as a NAS, then probably none (since you only have 4GB installed). If you have other add-ons that can take advantage of a larger address space, you can add more memory without any issues (which, as Bob noted above, some folks have had problems with when using PAE).
November 14, 201312 yr Author thanks, so if I run applications like SB, CP SAB it should help but straight unraid would see very little improvment correct?
