[coreboot] Recommended memory for coreboot + ASUS KGPE-D16

[BogDan Vatra]

Hi,

Well, as I said I already bought the motherboard and the CPUs and now
is too late for me to consider other configs.
IMHO it will be nice to have a wiki entry with coreboot friendly
(full?) configs.
Regarding the CPU power, I hope that my yocto/qt builds will be faster
on 2 x 16 Core 6276  than my current intel machine (i7-4770) and most
probably 32 core will do better than 12 cores at 3.5GHz.

Cheers,
BogDan.
