I'm looking to replace my aging HP proliant DL320 G5p, as I need more RAM (FreeNAS is a memory hog) and an 8GB kit for that server is like $100. Not worth it for the hardware. I'm on a tight budget, and I'm going with an LGA1156 board, since 1155 xeons are about 5x the price. I like the Supermicro X8SIL-F or one of the many nearly identical ones on eBay. Now, I'm having a hard time finding the memory from the tested memory list. Can I just buy some 1066 or 1333 registered ECC DDR3 and use that, or do I really need to find the stuff on the tested list?
Can I just use something like this:
