The motherboard has 8 RAM slots, 4 channels.
The processor can work with 4 channels of RAM (XEON).
What is the best way to allocate 256 GB ECC RAM?

• 4 sticks of 64 GB each (leave the slave slots empty)
• 8 sticks of 32 GB each (occupy all slots for RAM)

In which variant will the RAM work faster?

If the 4-channel mode is enabled in both cases, there will be no difference in speed.

8 x 32
Solely for money reasons, if a 64GB bar fails, its replacement costs several times more than a 32GB bar
