Is there an i7 motherboard with 16 memory slots?
If not what will be a low cost Xeon motherboard with 16 memory slots?
I got lots of DDR3 memeory sticks and want to build a server.
Thanks

When using that many sticks of memory, make sure you are using a quality PSU. Just powering that much memory is a task.

Also, make sure the motherboard will work with the memory type you have. Typically, you may be limited to 32 or 64GB of non-ECC/unbuffered memory (typical desktop style of memory). To use higher amounts, you need server type memory modules.
