LRDIMMs are designed for situations where you need very large amounts of memory.

I'm working on a parts list for a file server for a school, and because it's being paid for by a government grant we are being forced to use one from Dell. With that said, Dell's servers are pretty easily configurable, so I don't mind too much, but I've reached a little hitch. In the memory department, they're asking me whether I want to use LRDIMMs or RDIMMs, and I've really got no clue whatsoever what the difference is between them. If anyone could help me, that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Ah, OK. Thanks. I don't really need a large amount, so I'll just stick with RDIMM.
