In reference to memory it was interesting to hear standard non-ECC worked in early Z600s since 10600e memory costs a fortune.
Question I have is motherboard compatibility. I have a couple of Z600s one is a later C2 /03 board which is fine since that takes CHEAP 10600R server memory but the other is a Z600 B2/02 board date stamp 09. From the official documentation it states 10600E only, so will this take 10600R also????
I have also read that some Z800 02 boards with the latest bios will also accept the later 56xx Xeons? Is this true also of some Z600s?
Finally I have read that the Z600 boards do not like AMD HD7970 graphics cards? So what can I use that has more than 1Gb memory or will this simply be trial and error?
These are still great machines even for 2017 and my dual 5620 with 10600r beat on benchmark my AMD 8350 !!! thats some going. Only draw back is the SATA2 and USB2 and the fact the Z600 only has 2 hard drive slots without bodging and using expansion bays in the 5.25 spaces.
