Minimum one memory kit per processor must be installed.
It is recommended to install two identical memory kits for dual-channel symmetric configuration to
increase memory transfer speed.
Mixing unbuffered and registered DIMM in the same system is not supported.
Actual DIMM speed is set to 1066 MHz when you choose Xeon L5630 Processor.

Maximum Memory Speed
See the table below for the actual maximum memory speed on your system.
DDR3 memory speed depends on memory power setting and the native memory bus speed of the memory
controller. All memory buses operate at the clock frequency of the DIMM with the lowest frequency.

Maximum Available Memory
See the table below for the maximum memory size that you can actually use on your system.
The maximum available memory is less than the maximum physical memory supported by your system
because some chipsets require PCI resource space of about 750MB. PCI resource requirements vary
depending on the type and the number of PCI cards you are using.
