Windows server 2008 standard with 48 gb physical memory

I have a dell T410 dual processor .  I put 3 8 gb physical memory for each processor since each processor has 3 channels. I just saw that windows 2008 server standard has a limit of 32 gb on physical memory. I put in 48 gb. Should I take it out or leave it . What are the pros and cons to this situation. thanks

2 Cpu for a total of  6 channels and 8 gb per channel. Is the system using 5.5 gb from each channel or simply using the first 24 gb from the first Cpu and only 8 gb on the second cpu.
Oops, sorry. I will make sure to pay closer attention to my sources.

I've requested that this question be deleted for the following reason:

the main issue of how the memory is being used is not answered.
That wasn't what you asked in the original Question, but rather just in a later comment. The original Question was answered.
the problem with a question like this is that it's opinion-based as opposed to "this is broke, how do i fix?"
there is no right or wrong answer.  what one user chooses to do may not be the same as what another person would choose

all 3 comments between myself, rindi, and matt are all possible options and points can be split evenly between the 3
