I was looking at some desktop RAM that is a few months old already and looking thru the coments, it appears this guy is saying that you can run Desktop RAM in a server MOBO. I always thought that you could not do that because of something or another.

So I was wondering if I get say a SUPERMICRO H8QGi-F-O SWTX Server Motherboard will this RAM work with it, the G.SKILL Trident X Series Memory Model F3-1600C7Q-32GTX.

The fastest server RAM I was able to find off of Newegg was $109 for an 8GB stick with 7 cas 1600. Which is crazy expensive if I wanted to get around 98 GB.

I was planning on using the server for Virtualization or for folding@home.
The world is quaking from our Linux Thoughts!
