Hello everybody,
i'm already a member in the german section. Didn't know i have to register again for "worldwide"
Anyway: hello everybody
Maybe i can get some advice or help
I am assigned to build a nice and reasonable priced little workstation.
I chose a Socket 1156 board, most likely the ASUS P7P55D.
One requirement the system has to fulfill is that it should have 8 GB RAM with the option of updating to 16GB.
So plugging in two 4GB modules seems to make sense because this would leave two RAM sockets free for another two 4GB modules.
Now officially the "consumer" 1156 boards support "regular" i5 and i7 CPUs and non registered memory.
But most of you already know (i guess) that the X34xx server CPUs can be used as well.
Now the advantage of those CPUs is that the memory controller is integrated in them.
Also they suppport registered ECC memory.
My question is: can registered ECC memory be used in a "Xeon 34xx + P55 board combo"?
unregistered regular memory costs apprx. 160 EUR per 4 GB module.
registered ECC memory costs apprx. 110 EUR per 4 GB module.
So if this worked i could save my "client" about 200 EUROs.
Is there anyone out there who could provide some information?
many thanks in advance
