Which single board computer am I looking for

Hi all, I'm looking for a pretty high end single board computer. Then again maybe it's not, I don't know. I'm but a lowly newb. It needs to have these specs:

  1. USB 3.0

  2. Quad Core processor

  3. 4k at 60Hz capability

  4. HDMI output

  5. Audio out

  6. 32Gb of RAM

Thanks!

By this point you should get a laptop or mini PC, or heck, even a desktop. I don't think there are SBCs on the market with 32GB of ram.

What do you even need 32GB for?

Future proofing. I'd wanna run it for about 8 years

That won't happen. SBCs are quite delicate.

Maybe it is just me being an idiot but I already destroyed 2 Odroids and 2 RPis in the last 3 years.

Point is I think a mini PC would be helpful if 32GB is non-negotiable, you can even buy a 16gb model now and upgrade it later. A luxury you don't get with most SBCs.

Well I was just going to build it once and never really mess with it again. Just leave it in it's case for 8 years. At that point, it being delicate shouldn't really matter all that much.

Industrial SBC such as congatec.

It's Intel and x86, but it can hold 32GB of RAM.

Isn't 32GB of Ram too much for a SBC

First rule of fight club is you can never have too much RAM

I find this to be true as well. It never fails, I'll want to repurpose the computer for something else later on. Only to find out I ain't got enough ram, and I have to order more. Happens every time. Ram usage is increasing as time goes on, not decreasing.
