Agreed. I don't suppose you could rob any memory from another Dell (possibly a test server) and pop that in there?

Trust me I seen the same kind of cluginess with NON HP Memory too in DL models.

Dell support says, "It's the RAM, stupid. You didn't buy it from us." I'm getting ready to call Crucial, but wondered if anyone had any thoughts on this or how to get the "System memory configuration is not optimal." error that precedes the F1 to continue message to "go away". I have the server set up w/ the original 2GB kit (from when server was bought) & added the 8GB kit. BIOS sees 10GB of RAM, and Windows sees 10GB of RAM. I've tried it w/ just the 8GB kit installed, and get the same error. If I go back to the 2GB only, the error goes away (of course).
