16 Ram banks. I didn't think this was possible..

I just hope this thing will run ESX 3.5

Dang, I received my xw8600 today, but, it takes a riser card and the 2nd socket processor, it only has 8 slots by default.

I'm sure its still a good machine, but I was hoping to fill it with 2gb sticks (cheapish) and have 32GB of ram.

It does run ESX 3.5, the only thing you need is another NIC because the onboard one is not supported.
