Old X79 PC for Strata
Thinking of repurposing an old X79 PC for Strata / on my old X79:
\- i7-3930K
\-56 GB DDR3 (32gb matched but I have a few 4GB sticks and 1x8GB so they wouldn't match but maybe they work.)
\- RTX 2080 Ti 11 GB + RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB
\- CachyOS headless
Would Flash-Next IQ3\_XXS work well on this? Do I need to go lower?
I was also thinking of using an M4 32 GB as a coordinator/router with GLM-4.7-Flash, plus another machine with a 9070 XT running 27B.
I tried Gemma 4 26B it 4b JANG, asked it through Hermes to stitch a story together and it failed miserably so I wouldn't make GLM do that but it was sad to see gemma fail at what I thought was it's strongest point.
Not sure if GLM + 27B + Flash-Next would be redundant.
Main use would be agentic coding, web crawling, configuring environments, the more loved tasks out there. Basically trying to reduce my dependency on Claude.
Is it even possible with the 3930K/DDR3 or mixed GPUs? ChatGPT seemed to be cautiously optimistic. If it will work. What kind of tok/s could I realistically expect and will it be better than 27B UD-IQ\_i4\_XS
I also have a GTX 1060, GTX 970 and RX 580, but I assume those are useless here.
