Hey guys, I just got a Supermicro X8DTU board, dual x5620 XEONs, and 24gb of ddr3-1333 ECC memory off another member here.
I was wondering, is there any reason why I would be unable to put dual x5650 or other 6 core 12 thread xeon chips on this board? I was looking and I can get dual x5650's for very cheap off ebay.
Also the memory seems to be running slower than it should. It shows up as DDR3-1333 but the frequency is only at DDR3-1066 speeds. In the BIOS I don't see anything obvious that would limit it to this speed.
Any thoughts on which OS I should run on this? I have access to server 2016 but was considering just putting 10 on it and running virtualbox VM's through it. Is there any advantage or disadvantage to doing this versus installing 2016 as the base OS? There is some software I wanted to try that will not run on server 2016, so I figured I could just run 10 and run the server OS in a VM.
