If you want error correcting memory like a real server has then you need to use either an Intel Xeon processor, or any AMD processor. Error correcting can be useful with such large quantities of RAM, but if you want to keep the price cheap and bandwidth high then you would be limited to desktop memory. For a cheap high memory server you could get an Intel Sabertooth x79 motherboard (for reliability and features) and the Quad core Sandy Bridge-E processor. Then 64GB of 1600 or 1866 memory. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115229 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131801 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231558 x4 CPU, MB, and RAM would cost $1060 For server memory on the cheap you would be looking at something along the lines of these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117270 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813182336 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820139271 x4 For $1170. And as you can see, CPU speed is greatly reduces as well as memory speed. But definitely check for yourself if that memory is even compatible (I didnt do that research). Only buy something that is listed in the motherboard QVL.
