Hi i am willing to purchase a workstation based on Xeon e5 2620 v3 and selected a motherboard Supermicro X10DAi for it but i got confused in RAM for it Help me out in selecting DDR4 ECC RAMs between RDIMM, LDIMM, LRDIMM whats the difference and which will be best for me.
Currently i need only 32 Gb and will increase in future.
I have to do basically simulation works on real flow and Fume fx and rendering.

Thanks in advance.

To explain the differences between the two types of memory, I pulled a quote from the Kingston site:

Comparing 32GB LRDIMMs and 32GB Quad Rank RDIMMs, we can see that a two-way E5-2600 v2 server with 24 memory sockets can be configured as follows:
LRDIMMs: 32GB x 24 = 768GB at 1066MHz and 1.5V and 1.35V
RDIMMs: 32GB x 16 = 512GB at 800MHz at 1.5V
LRDIMMs deliver higher speeds at higher capacities for users that cannot meet their requirements using 16GB Dual Rank or 32GB Quad Rank RDIMMs.

That and a lot more info on that is at http://www.kingston.com/us/business/server_solutions/lrdimms
