    Build my home server

    I was thinking about build my home server in order to run Proxmox on it. That's the chassis I'd like to use: SilverStone RM44 Any suggestions about a good motherboard with 1 CPU socket (better with 10Gbit ethernet and NVME support)? What about CPU? Intel or AMD? What model?

    Sockets vs Cores vs vCPUs

    Hello, I'm a little bit confused when it comes to the terms Sockets, Cores, vCPUs in Proxmox. I checked older forums but they only helped confuse me more xD So as far as I understand Socket defines the number of processors I have (For example: 2x AMD Ryzen™ 5 PRO 3600 means I have 2 sockets)...
