I have asked for a quote on an MZ73-LM0 Rev 3. I did check the manual and it seems fine to only populate one socket.

My main OS is Ubuntu 24.04 and that’s supported. Will it also run Win 10/11? I guess there’s a slight possibility that I would like to run Windows directly on the hardware.

I think I will be going for the MZ33-CP1. The MZ73-LM0 is nice but not all functionality is available if you only populate one CPU socket.

Plenty of lanes on the CP1 even though I won’t use the OCP slot.

RAM prices seem to be almost the same for 4800MT/s vs 6000MT/s so might go for that and then just plop the 9655 in there when QS parts become available.
