Memory
The E5-2630v3 processors can only go up to maximum DDR4-1866 RAM speed, but it is almost impossible to find DDR4 RAM at such low speed, so DDR4-2133 or above are normally used.
Note all machines come with the more expensive ECC RAM for error correction ... yeah!

3. Increasing Memory
Memory can be increase to 512GB quite cheaply using used DDR4-2133 ECC RAM:

Due to E5-2630v3 CPU limitations, they only run at DDR4-1866 speeds:
An interesting thing is this almost 10 year old computer with 512GB of RAM can run the latest AI models in the year 2025 with similar performance to a MUCH more powerful and recent machine.
