    So i guess i go with 8x8GB and put them all in dual channel? Another question is 1600 vs 1333, does it really matter in my case? i might be able to save some money with 1333 sticks. (well, not save, as my original plan was to get 4x8GB)

    But does it work like that other way around? Do i have to have memory in second cpu slots for second CPU to work normally? I guess the question is: if i have 8GBx4 in quad channel will the other CPU work normally without any memory it its slots?

    Hello everyone! Thank you for the replies! I am afraid that craisglist is not an option, i am not from US. Also big problem is that here is very hard to find used server grade components. I can find new ones. So even if i get two used E5-2670 i will have to buy new mobo. Buying things from...

    I was not thinking about that at all. I was thinking that i will have to give $500-$600 for the new CPU. How much life do you think these CPUs have in them? I am sure they were working hard for few years. Also prices on these go from $60 to $170 any tips on how to pick which one to buy out of...
