Also, about the RAM maximum, can I assume that the memory controller is on the CPU itself?
The reason I ask is that I've seen 16 GB DDR3 ECC 1333 1.35 sticks:

...for a maximum of 96 GB (6 x 16).
Obviously that's a ton of RAM, but given that the X5690 can address up to 256 GB, can I assume that I shouldn't be limited by anything else?
Thanks once again,
Nelson
