Hi folks!
I need your help! I'm confused regarding witch ram is suitable for Fatal1ty X99 Professional Gaming i7 motherboard.
Let me explain... In official site:
http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Fatal1ty%20X99%20Professional%20Gaming%20i7/#Overview
at the very bottom says that
"This motherboard is capable of supporting DDR4 ECC and RDIMM (Registered DIMM) memory modules which deliver server-grade performance and durability for high-powered computing systems."
but on the specification tab of the same page it says, that it
"Supports DDR4 ECC, un-buffered memory/RDIMM with Intel® Xeon® processors E5 series in the LGA 2011-3 Socket"
(link of the specification page: http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Fatal1ty%20X99%20Professional%20Gaming%20i7/#Specification)
My confusion comes from using RDIMM abbreviation in specification tab, because RDIMM stands for "Registered RAM", but in same sentence it says that it doesn't support it??
Now what exactly type of RAM this motherboard supports for Xeon cpu?
ECC & buffered (Registered) RAM?
ECC & unbuffered (Unregistered) RAM?
Or both type of RAM supports?
I'm building my first Xeon PC with 128gb RAM and as you expect I don't want to f*** it up. My whole order stopped because of this so I appreciate the fast response.
Thank you all in advance!
