What memory to put?

Question

RAM

Hello. I have a Dell Precision T3500 motherboard. Processor Intel Xeon Processor 5645 series, 2.4 GHz. The maximum amount of memory for this motherboard is 24 GB. Support for standard DDR3 DIMM 1333 memory up to 24 Gb, 3 channels (6 slots). You can achieve it either 3 panels of 8 GB each, or 6 panels of 4 GB each. And because this motherboard uses a 3-channel mode of operation, and the memory is sold by the number of modules in the kit 1,2,4,8 the question arises - what to do? How to reach 24 GB with proper memory module compatibility. Those. the motherboard needs a set of 3 modules of 8 GB, or of 6 modules of 4 GB. But there is no such set for sale. Please tell me how to be. After all, the kit is for that and the kit, so that there are no conflicts in the work of memory. If you buy on a single module, I'm afraid of conflicts.

Answer 1

It's not all that bad. Buy 3 sets of 2 x 4GB modules. There is no 8GB in the dock for this board at all. The scatter of the normal moduli of one model is not significant.

Answer 2

Not in the dock, but here is what they answered me in dns:
"Hello. The memory is compatible, you can purchase modules one at a time, there is no reason to worry in this case, also keep in mind that the LGA1366 platform has undocumented support for 8 GB modules, with 6 slots to install RAM modules on the motherboard with a total volume of up to 48 GB, so you can also consider purchasing modules of the appropriate volume, including modules from the KVR and Fury series.24 GB is indicated due to the lack of mass 8 GB modules at the time of the release of the platform, 4 GB modules with one-sided packaging (8 chips) and 8 GB modules, you can install modules with a higher frequency, the RAM is backward compatible in frequencies."
So here. While you can put three bars of 8 GB each so that they work in 3-channel mode, today this is more than enough for games, but we'll see.
