So a few days from now, I'll have a Dell T3500 on my hands. I'll be replacing my FX 6300 with it. Here are the T3500 specs:
Xeon x5650 6 Core
RAM: that's the question!
GTX 960 (that I'll throw in, I have a PSU sorted as well if the original doesn't work)
Here's the FX build if you want:
FX6300
16gb RAM
GTX 960
So anyway now that specs are out of the way, I want to upgrade the ram. I have about 6 dimm slots to fill, and I'd like to max them out as much as possible, I also am not sure on the type I should go for. The goal is 48gb of ram at the moment(I have a friend who's tried it, works perfectly) but if 96gb is possible, I'll go for that. The Max memory of the X5650 is 288gb, not sure if there is BIOS restrictions though. The W3550, and other W processors the Dell had are the reason this had a 24gb ram limit originally. In theory it should work right?
I found HP 8gb PC3-10600R sticks but wasn't sure if the Dell supported it, has anyone done that?
Thanks!
