Finally, after a month of BS dealing with NEMIX, Newegg, and my local Post Office as a finale with:

1. Sending me the wrong RAM (Newegg)
2. Telling me to only return the wrong RAM (NEMIX)
3. Turning around and saying they need all the RAM (NEMIX)
4. Telling me they'll give me Advanced replacement (NEMIX)
5. Turning around and saying that didn't happen (NEMIX)
6. Sending me 3 working DIMMs and 1 dead DIMM (NEMIX)
7. Having me return 2 DIMMs (NEMIX)
8. Nobody home to sign for those sticks so I had to ride a bike 11 miles at 8:00AM in 55°F weather to my "local" Post Office to collect it.

After all of that I have finally achieved:

Dual channel:

With 64GB DDR4 DIMMs:

What ended up happening is my old RAM which was R4x4 (Quad-Rank) got switched out for R2x4 (Dual-Rank) which should in theory perform better? Somebody may have to clarify that for me. Something about VMs can benefit from lower ranks.

I think I'm going to stop at 512GB. I have other projects that also need more RAM. If I have to send back RAM to NEMIX again I think I'm not even going to argue I'm just going to STFU, shove ALL the RAM in a box and ship it because what should have been a 1~2 week replacement turned into about 34 days. It was so stupid.
