Once I get my processor, I was going to get one of the Supermicro boards (H12SSL-CT) and throw in a lot of memory.
I started doing the research on memory and found that Crucial only had the H12SSL-NT board for compatibility which I think is close enough:
I'm going to buy a few 32GB sticks, but I what I was shocked to see was that they are all the same price, regardless of rank.
I don't understand why this is the case, as I keep reading that single rank should be the most expensive. This makes things very difficult, because I cannot figure out which one to get for the best speed and performance.
Which is ideal in terms of speed and performance:
2 Rank x 4
2 Rank x 8
1 Rank x 4
Some sites I read say dual rank is better than single rank while others say the opposite. I cannot figure out a straight answer to this. I understand the technical meaning of dual vs single but in terms of performance, I'll end up finding another site that contradicts the previous one, causing confusion.
