Fully-Buffered RAM on a SuperMicro board?

0

My home server has a SuperMicro X7SBi board. Currently, I have 4GB ECC RAM (4x 1GB) installed. According to the spec page on SuperMicro's site, the board takes unbuffered RAM. A friend has a large stack of 2GB Fully-Buffered ECC RAM sticks he's throwing out, so I'm wondering if I could fit some in this board to double the capacity? Could I damage the board or the RAM, or would the board just not use the extra features?

No buffered ram wouldn't work on your motherboard as it only supports unbuffered, and they are not interchangeable. However, I don't think "trying" it would hurt anything it just wouldn't work.
