can it run
Only with compromises. 64GB is below the 84GB working set — expect a lower quant, offloading, or heavy swap. Possible, not pleasant.
weights 67GB + KV cache 0.75GB at 4k context vs ~62GB usable → offload-partial. 67.8 GB vs 62 GB usable — partial CPU offload, expect large speed loss
computed roofline: 273 GB/s × 0.55–0.80 efficiency window / 67.0GB (Q4_K_M) — bands, never points.
