Using up old parts to make a new exchange server at work (pc repair shop).
I have found 2x Xeon E5506 and 20gb ecc ram, the board requires that both CPU sockets are populated to address all memory. I have 2x 4gb sticks and 6x 2gb sticks. Do they need to be equally shared between both CPU memory banks or can each CPU address all the memory?
My other option is a single E5620 that I found but with the configuration of memory, I would be limited to 12gb.
The on board ERST2 controller is a bit rubbish only hitting about 80MB/s on the Raid5 and that's with the hardware key installed.
