Hey there,

I plan to use an old IBM x226 server as a media server in my home. Purely domestic use.

At the moment, it has 4 DDR2 512Mb.

I would like to put a second 3.4GHZ Xeon Socket 604 Processor SL7PG 800FSB (absolutely identical to the first one) with a regular IBM 13N1625 Heatsink (thank you as well if you see a mistake here).

But I would like to replace the old DDR 2 by 4x4GB PC2-5300P CL5 ECC DDR2 667 LP RDIMM 41Y2851 (IBMRAM31-K4).

Can he handle it ? No issue ?

On the IBM specifications page it is written about the original configurations available.
:

"System board contains six DIMM connectors supporting 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, or 2 GB PC2-3200 ECC DDR2 SDRAM RDIMM memory.

Supports 16 GB of system memory when 4 GB PC2-3200 ECC DDR2 RDIMM memory becomes available.
Memory is interleaved, meaning it must be populated two DIMMs at a time with the same size DIMM.
DIMM pair size may vary between the pairs. "

Thanks A LOT in advance for your advises ! :)
