WTB any good deals?: ECC RAM Bundles for Old Dell Poweredge T410 via Ebay or other sources?

I'd like to upgrade the RAM. I know that higher speced RAM works on lower spec / clock CPU + Mobo, so let me know the highest ECC RAM modules I can look for?

What CPU do you have in there now? I'd totally get an X5670 or similar if you haven't done so Pair of Intel Xeon X5670 2.93GHz SLBV7 12MB 6.4 GT/s LGA1366 Hex Core CPU LOT A | eBay or Pair (2pcs) of Intel Xeon X5650 SLBV3 2.66 GHz Six Core, LGA 1366 5032037010894 | eBay

Then maybe use these? (8GB x 1) SAMSUNG M393B1K70DH0-CH9 8GB 2Rx4 DDR3 PC3-10600R 1333MHz MEMORY RAM | eBay

Highest Freq DD3 RAM Chips that at Dell T410 will be able to use/ support?

I'd like to upgrade the RAM. I know that higher speced RAM works on lower spec / clock CPU + Mobo, so let me know the highest ECC RAM modules I can look for?

From:
Dell PowerEdge T410 (DDR3-1066MHz) (Reg.ECC) Memory
Dell PowerEdge T410 (DDR3-1066MHz) (Reg.ECC) Memory
Maximum Memory 64GB
Memory Slots 8 Sockets
non-removable base memory 0MB
Machine name: Dell PowerEdge T410
CPU options: Intel Xeon Processor
Chipset: Intel 5500 Chipset
HD Bus: SATA15035/SATA15025
Front Side Bus options:
Memory Speed options: PC3-8500 DDR3-1066 240pin Registered ECC SDRAM DIMM
Special notes: This system supports either Registered ECC or Unbuffered ECC memory. Mixing Registered ECC and Unbuffered ECC modules is not supported within this system.

RAM upgrade on Dell t410 server - Help me understand

There's some talk about mixing ECC & Non ECC memory here.

What kind of DD3 Memory can I look for on Ebay? Other places?

What's the maximum memory I can load/ mix?

Was hoping to find a bundle like this - 8 x 8 GB - I guess that will max it out?
64gb (8x 8gb) PC3L-10600R 2Rx4 DDR3-1333MHz ECC Reg Server Memory RAM | eBay

Would that work?

Is there an upper limit on the Higher Freq memory that I can use, past which I would not be able use those memory modules?
e.g. I guess DDR4 wont work on these..

Unbuffered versus Registered ECC Memory - Difference between ECC UDIMMs and RDIMMs

Also, would it make sense to get one type over other? Pros & Cons? Wider? Compatability?

PS: Also I have another T410 that's currently down for some tiny reason. Need to debug.

5500 series was 2009. At 7 years old maybe its just telling you it's time to retire.

We're already retiring E5-2690 V1 systems since they're 180 to 200w idle when V4 systems we have are idling at half that plus we're getting consolidation by using fewer machines making our license costs lower.

Do share your thoughts on the posts/ replies above. Is it possible to use these CPUs on this box?

This was obtained in 2011/12. It works and still way more powerful that whats needed. Not everyone operates with your budget
