Classification: UNCLASSIFIED Caveats: FOUO In my experience with the Dell servers I work with, they won't recognize memory sticks above 2 GB. I never had a need to put much more than 8 GB in an server here (all of them 2GB sticks), so that might be skewed. We are starting to lean toward virtualization, so we might run into your same pitfall.

I purchased a lot (96GB) to upgrade my R905 server and went with third party (Crucial) memory because it was half the cost of the Dell memory. The server does not recognize the memory. Both Dell tech support and Crucial tech support said the specs on the Dell memory and the Crucial are the same, but no luck. The machine is at the latest bios, I followed the Dell procedures for memory installation and configuration, and am using 4GB sticks. So before I send it all back and try to find several more thousand $$$, has anyone been able to make third party memory work and if so which brand and what if anything was done to make it work. cheers, ski -- "When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it connected to the entire universe" John Muir Chris "Ski" Kacoroski, [email protected], 206-501-9803 or ski98033 on most IM services _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/ Classification: UNCLASSIFIED Caveats: FOUO
