Ok, this might belong in the multiprocessing subforum, but I'll start here.

I'm about half done building a 'bleeding edge' workstation.Dual processor Skylake-sp .
This is my new motherboard :
Supermicro X11DPi-NT. I have 2x Xeon gold 6144's paid for and on the way.
-------------
Please look at the ram slots.
The black dimm slots are for NVRAM (not out yet ?).The blue ones are for standard registered ECC.....6 channel/cpu.
The manual starts with "2 dimms per channel is best".....ok, so that's all blue slots filled.
At this point it gets into 'rank interleaving', but for the life of me I don't understand the manual.I'm probably just reading it wrong, I'm working on it.
Normally I would always go with single rank modules, and put the same dimm in every slot, but I'm not sure that's best with this motherboard, the dual cpu thang is new to me.
The manual is here :https://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon/C620/X11DPi-NT.cfm
The difference between single rank and dual rank dimms is nothing cost wise, but I do want to get the order correct the first time.
I appreciate any and all advice.
