Now that 8GB sticks are available, and you can get socket 2011 motherboards with 8 DIMM slots, here is what I'm thinking:
G Skill 32G(4x8G) DDR3 1333 PC10600 x 2 = $590
Intel Core i7 3930K Processor LGA2011 = $699
Gigabyte GA-X79-UD5 MB, Socket 2011, Intel X79, 8x DDR3, 3x PCI-E3.0 = $348
Total = $1637 to upgrade to a 64GB system
Is there any reason not to do this?
Does the lack of ECC actually affect NGS analysis packages? If so would you notice it or would you get errors in your data that go unnoticed? Does the speed of the RAM have much of an effect?
