I voted for LPCAMM2 because it will be able to handle faster memory with physical structures in the future.
ex. LPCAMM3 or LPCAMM4 etc…
Just use the cheaper one for considering of poor people
LPDDR5 soldered on is fine for me - it’s what was originally suggested and the larger factor is that the ecosystem is still very much a-change, but we won’t be able to switch CPUs to a newer generation. In that situation, I think it’s wiser to buy (right at the start) the configuration that the system should be, and leave it like that. So if you expect to have need for 32GB, just get it like that, and don’t plan on upgrading it 2 years later when the need arises.
I think it would not make economic sense, and the same it would not be super important to be able to take out the RAM and use it elsewhere, since the prices will come down over the years anyway, so you could just get RAM for whatever other system we’re talking about, and keep the OASIS going.
Make sense? Wrong?
There sure are lots of assumptions about boards with all these higher RAM to buy then. Officially it does not seem anything in writing making firm commitments. The only thing for certain is the coupon selling for the cheapest board. Everything else have been comments or assuming it true. Most SBC that can actually be ordered now only go to 16 GB like Jupiter. Could be that would be the highest choice to buy for a while at the start or at all. Those planning larger sizes are taking a chance if voting soldered RAM.
Well, then I would expect ECC, at least four LPCAMM2 slots, remote management and so on. All the things (or: half of the things) I have in my current Xeon workstation and in my home micro server. For productive use for, e.g., Internet-facing servers, I would wait a bit longer until a lot of teething problems have been ironed out. But this is just my opinion.
