VRAM
Memory on the graphics card; usually the main limit for local AI model size.

Notes
Exact B650 EAGLE AX retail board; BIOS and the selected memory profile are checked before quote.
Needs GPU VRAM too
System RAM helps tools and offload, but GPU-accelerated model fit is limited mainly by VRAM.
AI terms in plain language
System RAM vs GPU memory
RAM helps apps and data work; GPU memory usually decides which model size can run quickly.
CUDA
NVIDIA’s software layer for many AI tools. Macs and AMD GPUs do not run CUDA workflows the same way.
Apple unified memory
Apple Silicon memory shared by CPU, GPU, macOS, and apps. Useful for Mac AI, but not the same as NVIDIA VRAM.
7B / 8B / 14B / 70B
Approximate model size in billions of parameters. Larger numbers usually need more memory and may run slower.
Quantized models
Compressed models, such as Q4, that use less memory with possible quality or speed tradeoffs.
Context length
How much text the model can keep in mind at once. Longer context uses more memory.
Inference
Running an existing model for chat, coding help, summaries, or document workflows.
Fine-tuning vs adapter tuning
Fine-tuning adapts a model; adapter tuning, such as LoRA/QLoRA, is a lighter way to steer an existing model with examples.
Dual-GPU limitations
Two GPUs do not automatically combine VRAM into one large pool. Software must explicitly support multiple GPUs.
eGPU limitations
External GPUs need enclosure, driver, and runtime validation, and usually do not mean macOS graphics or gaming acceleration.

Request a quote
The request does not collect payment or card details. We send the exact price, availability, and any proposed substitutions in a written quote.
Trust and process
What happens after a component order or quote request
Exact item and availability
We confirm the exact model, current price, and availability before fulfillment. Submitting a quote request does not collect payment.
Compatibility scope
We review known fit information and flag evident size, power, or interface constraints. Final compatibility depends on the rest of your system and the details you provide.
Handover in Estonia
Pickup or local delivery method and timing are agreed after availability is confirmed.
Returns, warranty, and support
Return and warranty handling depends on order state, the component, manufacturer, and retailer. Questions continue through the order or quote email thread.
Trust details
Important before ordering
Contact and support
Questions continue through the order or quote email thread. Replying to the confirmation is the fastest path.
Warranty
Warranty handling depends on the component, manufacturer, and retailer; the practical path is confirmed case by case.
Exact item
The manufacturer, model, availability, and final amount are confirmed in checkout or in writing before fulfillment. A replacement is never made silently.
Compatibility limits
Catalog specifications and known constraints are buyer guidance. Confirming fit with an existing system requires the full parts list plus dimensions, power, interfaces, and software requirements.
Delivery and returns
Pickup or local delivery is agreed after availability is confirmed. Returns and cancellations depend on order state and the applicable terms.
Pricing basis
The page labels whether pricing uses recent market evidence, a planning estimate, or a written quote. A component price does not imply whole-system assembly, software setup, or completed-system testing.
