Any reason to love the X8ST3-F?

In a local used sale I picked up two cabinets with X8ST3-F but they only included 3x2GB ram each. Getting more ram is expensive! Any reason to prefer this mainboard, or should I just keep one at 12GB and not use the other one? At $18 for 4GB it makes more sense to use my cheap X8DTL-3F mainboards that included 48GB (6x8GB) - or maybe even upgrade them, than to get the X8 up to 24GB ram for like $110 each...

8GB sticks can be had for less than $18 each. $10-15 look around on eBay.

Cheapest 8GB I could find from the SM compatibilty list was $50 (2 for $100). I think it´s probably not worth upgrading.

I don´t think you read my post. All my X8DTL-3F have 6x8GB RAM. X8ST3-F is a different mainboard. Not registered RAM capable.
