Hello, I am very new to server type motherboards and I have a couple questions if anyone would be gracious enough to help.
I am setting up a home server with MyMovies and this is the issue;
I am installing Windows Server 2012 Essentials and would like to be able to use the max recognized by this version, which is 64gb, Right now I have 8gb dimms in 3 slots of each side (48 gb) and its even, also I am running 2, X5680's, Can I install a extra 8gb in one of the slots on each side to make it 64 gb?, or will that throw the channels off?
Not exactly sure if this is running in triple channel or double, and thought that maybe one channel being different would mess up the throughput. Also am I correct in thinking that all the sticks of memory should be of the same size?, Not mixing 4gbs and 8gbs, but use all the same size? This stated thinking that maybe I could use 4gbs in all of the extra slots and make them all even on both sides.
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks!
John C.
