@alipz95 yes buddy with the Intel architecture. Memory must be equally split between all processors so for example if you install 64GB of memory on each processor bus. The OS still sees all 128GB of memory but the memory is spread across the two CPUs.
It is also important that the memory on CPU1 physically matches the memory on CPU2.

It sounds like you want to add a 2nd CPU to your R730, if yes, just get the same exact processor as CPU 1, and you would need to order a CPU heatsink from our parts department as well. if you google R730 cpu upgrade kit, you should see lots of information on what you would specifically need. In case you upgrade your existing CPU as well, be SURE to upgrade your bios and idrac before installing the newer version processors.

you need the same CPU heat sink and DIMMS for CPU 2.
DIMMs must be of same configuration.
