I need to expand the RAM on a pair of PowerEdge R610 servers. They're dual processor, with 6x4gig used for 24gigs available. The upgrade that I'm looking at is 2 16 gig sticks, for a total of 56 gigs.
After reading the manual, I'm not sure that just adding 2 16 gig sticks is the right move:
- What would be the effect on Optimizer mode if I added these? In the real world, will it matter?
- Per the manual, "In a dual-processor configuration, the memory configuration for each processor must be identical"- do I still qualify as identical if I add the same thing to both sides?
Is there a smarter way to get to the goal of +32 gigs than 16x2, and if so, why?
