Is my consumer RAM RDIMM or UDIMM?
I've set out to build a server and I might have ordered the wrong RAM.
The motherboard I'm using is an ASUS KGPE-D16. In the specifications, it states that I can have 256GB of RDIMM or 64GB of UDIMM. The RAM I bought is consumer, CORSAIR Vengeance CMZ32GX3M4X1600C10. The memory format for the RAM is just "DIMM".
The question I have is what type of DIMM is my RAM? RDIMM or UDIMM? Or is it neither, meaning it won't be supported at all?
Solution 1:
- UDIMM = Un-Buffered RAM
- RDIMM = Registered RAM
Unless you are specifically setting out to by registered RAM, then chances are you've bought Un-Buffered RAM. Un-Buffered RAM makes up the majority of consumer-level RAM available, and registered RAM is typically plastered in warnings it's not for most motherboards.
