in case you don't have $18,000 to buy those fancy brand new DDR4 RAM -
second hand 64GB DDR3 ECC REG RAM is about $100 each, a dual socket c602 motherboard such as my Z9PE-D16 has 16 memory slots, having 16 x 64GB = 1TB RAM in such a workstation costs you $1,600.
bargain!

- jsjohnst 7y agoDoes the Z9PE-D16 actually support 64gb DIMMs though? ASUS claims it only supports 32gb for a total of 512gb, but that could easily be because they didn’t update their marketing material rather than a technical limitation.
- dis-sys 7y agomy understanding is that memory controllers are in the processors, motherboard just provide the slots, it shouldn't be a limiting factor to stop you using 64GB DIMMs.
