JarDo Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Question: I'm looking to replace the motherboard in my Unraid server. I understand that Unraid doesn't require a lot in the way of processor speed, but is there any advantage to multiple cores? I ask because the motherboard I'm looking at (SUPERMICRO MBD-C2SBC-Q-O LGA 775 Intel Q35 ATX Intel) will take a dual or quad core processor. I can get a fast dual or a slower quad for the same price. I'm just not too sure which is the better way to go. Quote Link to comment
BRiT Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 The advantage to multiple cores is if you start installing and using user addons, such as SABnzbd, Transmission, PS3Media Server, HandBrakeCLI, AirVideo, et al. It all depends with your usage patterns. Quote Link to comment
