I am building a large workstation for scientific computing, and need to double check with the Anandtech experts about hardware compatibility. The system will be a dual socket Xeon 5520 machine with a whole lot of RAM.. Mostly, I am concerned about motherboard-memory issues.

***The RAM: Patriot Signature 12GB (3 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM ECC Registered DDR3 1333: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820220423
Other parts, just FYI

***HD#2: Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 ST31500341AS 1.5TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb
Would anybody be able to take a look at the RAM-MOBO combination and help me decide if they willl work together?
