My first home lab server was a supermicro x10slh-f-0, xeon e3-1245 v3 with 16 gbs of ddr3 1600m pc3-12800 ecc. I tried on two separate occasions to buy approved 32gb ram kits published by supermicro for the mobo and both times the ram did not allow more than 16gb. I have had 48 gb pc3-12800 ecc sitting in my drawer for two-four years now.
The ram limitation has really annoyed me and is now limiting my ability to upgrade to run a new host with Windows Server 2016 as I transition my files over.
I regret not springing for a dual CPU board to begin with.
I am looking for suggestions on cpu/mobo combos for dual cpu, I would like to reuse the ddr3 1600 ecc (pc3-12800) ram. I prefer something more economical it is mainly a data/file server with at least 2 LANs. My plan is to get one CPU and then add the other years from now. I may run napp-it. I have failed at every attempt to get it to install. I will probably hire GEA to remotely set it up for me this time around.
You guys have any suggestions? At this point, I an just searching mobo's by ram on newegg to see what works.
