I'm checking out a used workstation at an extremely low price. It features 4x32GB RAM (DDR4 2666, ECC unbuffered) which could be repurposed for upgrading my own system—specifically adding more RAM to the CPU and motherboard. If I can utilize the CPU and existing RAM from this machine, I could purchase a budget-friendly LGA 1151 motherboard that matches my current GPU. I'm wondering if it would fit within the 64GB limit, whether it would operate at all, if it would consume 64GB across two channels, and if each 32GB slot is capped at 16GB.

There appears to be no support for ECC memory in the available options, which suggests limited chances of success there.

The ranking and memory devices used by the DIMM are uncertain. It's unclear if they function reliably, especially with configurations like x4. No definitive confirmation exists.

ECC operates on non-ecc boards as long as they aren't buffered. Avoid using the ECC feature since it's not relevant to you.

I'm not certain about the specifics. Could you clarify whether you're referring to RAM modules or the DIMM slots on the motherboard?

ECC exists in various forms that standard equipment can't handle. For instance, "2Rx4" refers to two ranks of x4 memory chips, which wouldn't work with consumer devices. x8 and x16 are more reliable options.

Seems like 2Rx8 is a dosage reference.
