      So what I am hearing is that I need to start buying server and not desktop motherboards.

      128GB isn’t that much when running multiple VMs with PCIe passthrough and docker apps in the background, but its all my little asus x399 board can handle… or any x399 board it seems.

            For my own projects I buy whatever Supermirco platform the data center manager has a volume discount for or I find used Dell equipment from third party sellers or ebay.

            At work we rent by the month based on needs and availability. I never know the brand, just the specs. Lately AMD based servers have been more competitive.
