Was given this server memory, will it work on any conventional boards?

[Mr Bill]

It doesn't work on my Asus P6T Deluxe V2 board, just wondering what board will it work with. Thanks Bill.​

Wow, thats an old board.... but no it won't work. Some desktop boards support ECC but I don't think any would support registered ECC RAM.

to give you an idea of age and type of system this was intended for, its compatible with the 4,1 and 5,1 Mac Pros, circa 2009 through 2012. I actually have 48GB of 1333Mhz modules in my system, only reason I know this odd bit of info. that is a X58 Intel chipset motherboard so I believe that means at least other X58 chipset boards would also be compatible....among god knows how many others also

Registered DDR3 means you're looking at circa 2010-ish era server boards.

Server ram for a server board. "Registered" is a trick to help get a server to support more RAM than typical consumer boards, but this "trick" requires the electrical lines to be changed a little bit. So it won't be compatible. There's also LR (load-reduced / registered) RAM, which supports even higher capacities.

Thanks I appreciate this information. The ram was just given to me by someone cleaning their house of old pc parts, so no loss or no gain, maybe someone might be able to use it one day.

My X58 board won't even boot into the bios with this ram installed. I already have 24 Gig on this board, and processor Xeon X5670 running at 4.3 GHz, so I'm good to go.

For future reference, yo've got UDIMM, RDIMM, and LRDIMMs.

UDIMM == unregistered, the typical RAM you use in most computers.

RDIMM == Registered, the typical RAM you see in servers.

LRDIMMs == Load Reduced registered, which is for servers that need the most RAM possible (2TB or 4TB of RAM in one box is possible for modern 2021-era LRDIMM based servers, which costs a ton of money of course).
