@Suiseiseki@freesoftwareextremist.com I totally agree the AMD boards are definitely good enough for most desktop usage with a average amount of RAM and a decent GPU, however I use mine as a server.
I'm not sure what practical use PCIe 3.0 hasFor example lots of expansion cards simply require PCIe 3.0 minimum to function at all. NVMe storage is a big one that comes to mind, I would really like to upgrade to NVMe if possible.

And yes Raptor Board support PCIe 4.0 even.

DDR4 is much better than DDR3. The AMD boards run exclusively ECC ram sticks and they can be really damn picky when it comes to RAM sticks. I tried like 5 different ram sticks that I had lying around and none of them worked and I ended up having to buy known working ones from the very limited Vikings Wiki ram list: https://wiki.vikings.net/hardware:kgpe-d16

And yes the AMD boards are capped at 128 GB. If you run big databases like I do this can actually be a limiting factor. With the Raptor Computing boards I don't think I will run into RAM limits for a long time as they support up to 2 TB I believe.
