Does anyone know how it works if you purchase the Bittware version since the defaults is w/no memory installed?  Can you purchase your own DDR memory to install, and if so what kinda?

The following is offered from Bittware, but what is recommended?

R4 = DDR4 16GB RDIMM
R5 = DDR4 32GB RDIMM
R7 = DDR4 128GB RDIMM
L5 = DDR4 32GB LRDIMM
L6 = DDR4 64GB LRDIMM
Q4 = Dual QDRII+ x18 144Mb
Q5 = Dual QDRII+ x18 288Mb


My Bittware board has no external memory, and I will add either standard PC DDR4, or Bittware QDR-SRAM, as needed in the future; only Ravencoin (DDR4), Bitcore (DDR4) and Equihash (QDR) need external memory.  Cryptonight7 would, although I haven't examined it in depth.  Phi, Keccak, SHA-224, Tribus, X17, Lyra2v2, Neoscrypt, Xevan; no external memory needed.
 

Will the hash increase be equal to the amount of external memory added?  For ex. will going from 16GB to 32GB double the hash etc..?  Also, is QDR specific to Equihash or is also compatible with RVN/Bitcore?
