I am running a Supermicro X9DRi-LN4F+ (rev 1.20 w/ Bios v3.3) in a Supermicro 2U CSE-826A-R1200LPB.
2x Intel Xeon E5-2620 v1 HEx (6) Core @ 2.0GHz
32GB Hynix ECC Registered PC3-10600 (8 x 4GB) (5 x HMT151R7BFR4C-H9 and 3 x HMT151R7TFR4C-H9)
I am looking to upgrade the memory in this machine.
While shopping on eBay I see a lot of the ads referring to 1R, 2R, 4R. I know this refers to ranks. What I don't understand is if I can mix these. The motherboard has 24 memory slots, of which 8 are filled. What is my best option to bump this machine to 64GB or 96GB?
Will I get better value with another 8x4GB, which will still leave me with 8 slots to expand in the future? Or should I look at going for 4x8GB?
How does this affect dual/quad channel performance? Is it better to fill 12 slots or do I really need to expand in increments of 8?
Thanks!
