Hi there Tomand,
Please notice and watch out : I only see this port today because we are working on this (and other) forums to upgrade it, so most of the time it has been down the past week (or two). Your post will remain in the upgraded version (possibly ready today or tomorrow) by this post from me will not. But if I think of it, I may save it and paste it in the new version of the forum. Anyway for an answer :
I would need to look it up, but your 120VA seems right for AC (I think for DC it's a bit more). You must take it that it all *just* fits / matches. This is related to the heat dissipation and the being less efficient the more hot things get. Clear example (On Topic) : would the boot time ~double from just over 2 minutes to e.g. 5 minutes, then booting will not be possible. Unless maybe when actively cooled by an external device (not drawing power from the Mach III itself).
What you imply with the 384 GB of RAM will incur for 384/48 = 8 times longer booting. Thus 16-20 minutes. I think you may blow up everything because it may go unnoticed to you that things keep on going while in full power - unprotected mode (this is how the BIOS mode works - including TurboBoost active). You *will* notice because you see the counter which reads into memory, stalls. Btw, I take it that you want to use more memory thus you also increased the VHD file. It is there were it goes wrong. And without doing this, I think the memory-increase is (literally) useless ?
Something quite else : the more RAM will consume so much more power that this more 99% sure will not work.
If you like to know more, just ask. Best regards, Peter
