Solution cin19 Sep 17, 2014 You may not find the MB for the x3220 that can use 32Gb even 16GB, because x3220 was released on Q12007 http://ark.intel.com/products/28034/Intel-Xeon-Processor-X3220-%288M-Cache-2_40-GHz-1066-MHz-FSB%29 at that time there is not those big size RAM, and the MB does not have the BIOS for those big size memory. Also it use the LGA775 socket, I can find some of them but they only can support up to max. 8GB RAM, like: Retail BOXDP43BF http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003F8DKEM/?tag=pcpapi-20 support cpu http://processormatch.intel.com/Processors/CompatibleProcessors?componentName=DP43BF DG43GT http://processormatch.intel.com/Processors/CompatibleProcessors?componentName=DG43GT BLKDG41RQ http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001TKKFU0/?tag=pcpapi-20 support...
