Hi,
I have a IBM x3620 M3 server with an Intel Xeon E5506 CPU and I wish to upgrade its memory. According to the specs at http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/Redbooks.nsf/RedbookAbstracts/tips0806.html#memory it supports up to PC3-10600 memory. Intel's page on the E5506 at http://ark.intel.com/products/37096/Intel-Xeon-Processor-E5506-4M-Cache-2_13-GHz-4_80-GTs-Intel-QPI says it supports DDR3-800 memory. Will regular PC3 memory work or is there some special server class memory that I have to buy? Is there anything I need to be aware of? Voltage? FB-DIMM? ECC?
Thanks!
