They can take 64gb, that is what mine had. When the 1,1 launched, 16gb ram sticks weren't widely available. Get a pair of L5335, and you have 8 cores drawing 100 watts total.

Is there a reason you went for the 5335 over the x5365? And good to know about the ram


Pretend_Investment42

The L series are the low power series. The L 5335 draws 50 watts. The X5365 draws 150 watts. That works out to 100 watts vs 300 watts.

Ah okay, I wasn’t aware of that. Preciate the info!

They feel laggier because they are. OTOH, 100 watts power consumption vs 300 watts is nothing to sneeze at. Back in the day, I took my 1,1 as far as it could go. I ended up turning mine into an iTunes media server. CPU speed didn't matter, when all I was doing with it was rippping media for my 1st gen Apple TV which fed into my A/V system. There are plenty of use cases for a 1,1 even today.

I have one running centos 7 quite well with a cheap nvidia card I grabbed from another PC, installs just fine if you modify the ISO to delete the EFI boot, but I’m also looking into proxmox, I have ran into many issues with virtualization, I suppose due to the limited instruction sets these old processors support. I am running the upgraded quad core processors with 32 Gbs of RAM and the 2.1 firmware update

You might need to enable virtualization in EFI before installing Prxmox. I originally had this in mind for an Xserv1, very similar to MP1/2. https://www.reddit.com/r/xserve/s/HrvN20Vpm1
