r210ii Bios update more than 32GB RAM
I picked up 40 dell r201ii servers from IT pulls (riverbed systems). I was able to flash a more recent bios 2.10.00 (6/6/2018) and reset everything to default and use as a server again.
These machines would be perfect little application servers but I am running out of RAM all the time.
I have 16GB in each. Looking at docs it shows pc3 10600 or DDR3 up to 1600 MHz.
My questions:
Best MAX memory options?
Are there any 3rd party chipset or bios updates wherein the e3-1220 on this mainboard is able to address more than 32GB of ram?

Maximum memory supported for R210 II is 32GB. Your system supports single- and dual-rank DDR3 unbuffered ECC DIMMs (UDIMMs). DIMMs can be 1066 or 1333 MHz. You can get more details on memory support from below link (Refer System Memory section on page 69)
