May 6, 201610 yr Yeah, it depends on your goals. If you want to do what you're doing today, only better and faster - the G3258 with 8GB is a better platform than your old Core2 setup - 4x more memory, 2x faster processor, and get rid of your unRAID 6 stability problems. If you want to upgrade for the future, though, then it will cost more .
May 6, 201610 yr What level virtualization would you like to get into? I see three levels at the moment: - Dockers - Lightweight VMs accessed via Remote Desktop - Heavier weight VMs that use hardware pass-through - i.e. the combination NAS/gaming rig
