Are there any issues installing W2K8-R2 Standard or SBS-2011 on 36GB of memory?
Many of the new CPU's only deliver maximum memory speed when used with triple channel memory. This means a server could use 3x(4GB+8GB) or 36GB of memory instead of the classic 32GB of memory. W2K8-R2-Standard specs call for 32GB of memory. Are there any issues installing W2K8 versions on physical hardware with more memory than it is designed for?

I can't imagine so. SBS2011 will just see the 32GB, simple as that.If you found this post helpful, please give it a "Helpful" vote. If it answered your question, remember to mark it as an "Answer".
