Hi. I am new here and I found this forum to be an excellent resource on Supermicro hardware.
I am getting some refurb X10SRi-F motherboard w/o CPU and RAM.
I am wondering whether I can use V1 or V2 Xeons with it (I have few of these collecting dust)?
Supermicro site tells nothing about backwards compatibility, only mentions V3 and V4.
Also, I know that SM is super picky about RAM.
I would appreciate if you guys recommend the cheapest RAM to get. DDR4 RAM looks to be more expensive than everything else combined
Many thanks.
