I don't have a answer to your frequency problem but I ran into similar issues with memory usage when trying to process LIDAR data in pandas and keras. I ended up buying an old HP quad xeon 4U with 320gb of DDR3 for $330 shipped. I used https://labgopher.com/ to find the server deals.

Thanks for sharing labgopher... would have made my own search much easier last year.

oh wow. thanks for the info. I saw some decent deals on newegg, but not that low

it's a big chunk of metal, but it would make life easier for some stuff
