My current PC specs:

  • Dell Precision T1700 Motherboard
  • Xeon E3 1275 v3
  • 32GB DDR3 1600Mhz ECC
  • 7900 XTX 24GB VRAM (Transferring to new PC)

What I want in my next PC:

  • MSI Z790-P Motherboard (with Dasharo)
  • i9-14900k
  • DDR5 192GB 5600Mhz (Non-ECC)
  • 7900 XTX 24GB VRAM

Will I see any performance increase? I’m also worried about not having ECC RAM, I will be coding a lot with my LLMs (firmware development), so part of me doesn’t want to make any mistakes and future proof. I heard DDR5 has some ECC-like features, but not the same as traditional ECC. Maybe I should buy a Dell Precision 3630 motherboard which has support for upto 128GB DDR4 ECC memory? This is a dedicated LLM PC, so, not too concerned about gaming or anything.

I would like to hear your suggestions!

    Ram is important but it has to be vram not system ram.

    Only MacBooks can use the system ram because they have an integrated GPU rather than a dedicated one.

    Stable diffusion is the same situation.
