How do I know, from name, how many sockets does computer have?
ASUS Z9PA-D8 ATX Server Motherboard Dual LGA 2011 DDR3 1600/1333/1066
Without Googling, are you able to tell amount of sockets for RAM and CPU?

So, I took look (haha) on your website and other threads.
It turns out you guys use a lot of use of newegg.com.
I found one that is claiming itself quad-socket. I suppose these are 4 CPU sockets.
How do I look up to amount of RAM sockets? What do I look at? Specific words?

How do I look up amount of TB/GB of RAM totally supported by motherboard (on newegg.com).
How do I look up amount of THz/GHz totally supported by motherboard (on newegg.com).
newegg.com - By this I mean, website has filters on left side. Which section do I need to look up?

Thank you for answering.

Easiest way is to look up the specs on the manufacturers website usually more accurate and up to date.

However
Ram slots = DIMM's
ex. 16 DIMMs = 16 slots for ram
Sockets = place for one physical cpu
ex. Dual LGA 2011 = Two LGA 2011 Sockets ie. two physical cpu that fit the 2011 socket

Oh ok. So

DIMM for RAM.
"Socket" for CPU.

Thanks.
