Don't go over dual ranked memory. At the R710's release I think 8GB was only available as quad ranked, but nowadays 8GB dimms exist in dual rank. Keep in mind that with 3 dimms per memory channel the memory speed does decrease to 800MHz. More information about memory population can be found in the "Hardware Owner Manual" that's available on Dell's support site (
