Aaron Arnold Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 (edited) I currently have AMD A6-3650 APU with Radeon™ HD Graphics @ 2600 MHz (FM1 Socket). I can get a really cheap upgrade to a A8-3870K (Which runs at 3000mhz). What I'm wondering is would it be good enough for my needs the A6 doesn't seem to be keeping up really (It sits at 90-100% all the time). I'm currently running 7 dockers (And have a couple others that I might want to later once I get used to how unraid dockers work), and two VMs. One is a DC, and there other is my windows 10 box. I'm just getting started with with unraid. So there is a lot I don't know :(. But I'm learning. :). I currently have an LSI Card 9201-16i with 13 disks (not all 13 are a part of the array yet, Will be two parity disks once they arrive), and non-ecc 32gigs ddr3 mem). I was also thinking of adding a second nic for the VMs, but was unsure if that would have any positive affect or if the cpu is too much of a bottleneck at this point to matter. I also have a 240 cache disk, that I think I might like to upgrade and then move my VM's to it to speed them up. My other thought was to buy something like https://www.ebay.ca/itm/Supermicro-X9DRi-LN4F-v1-10-Motherboard-2x-E5-2620-LGA2011-8GB-DDR3-2U-Heatsink/352811222163?_trkparms=aid%3D888008%26algo%3DDISC.CARDS%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20131227121020%26meid%3D5b41c2add1054a5b9c14b3ecee0bf53b%26pid%3D100009%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D1%26sd%3D133272154820%26itm%3D352811222163%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D0%26pg%3D2047675&_trksid=p2047675.c100009.m1982 off ebay..
