Hi There,<br />
<br />
I am building a new server around a Supermicro X7QC3 mainboard running 2 x Intel Xeon E7420, Socket FC-PGA6, 2.13GHz, FSB 1066MHz, quad-core processors.<br />
<br />
The motherboard manual states: 24 240-pin DIMM sockets with support up to 192 GB ECC FBD (Fully Buffered) DDR2 667/533 Memory<br />
<br />
Which memory will be the fastest ?<br />
<br />
Cheers<br />
<br />

Advice on memory to use with SuperMicro X7QC3 motherboard

Components are those devices that are internal to a computer -- the PC boards, the central processor (CPU), the memory (RAM), disk and video controllers and so on.

Components

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.
