Workstation memory compatibility

[jrsalazar]

I just ordered a Lenovo S30 workstation with an Intel Xeon E5-2630 processor. I am planning on replacing the memory modules for a higher speed (4gb factory to 16gb aftermarket). I am wondering if using regular DDR3-1333mhz desktop memory is compatible with this processor? Something such as: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231486

Thanks!

Check out the processor specs and memory specifications/compatibility on the Intel site for this processor: http://ark.intel.com/products/64593/

Yes, you can use regular DDR3 memory with this processor. Check out the processor specs and memory specifications/compatibility on the Intel site for this processor: http://ark.intel.com/products/64593/

Do I need to worry about non-ECC/ECC or "system specific memory"?

I found the documentation for that machine.
Looks like you will need either UDIMM or RDIMM (DDR3/ECC)
http://www.lenovo.com/shop/americas/content/pdf/system_data/s30_tech_specs.pdf

UDIMM: up to PC3-10600 1333MHz, 64GB max (8x8GB)
RDIMM: up to PC3-12800 1600MHz, 128GB max (8x16GB)

Mixing UDIMM and RDIMM is not supported. You'll want to shop for something like this: http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/itemdetails/57Y4138/460/8A7360498BC14EC2AE859768D8493453
