https://community.hpe.com/t5/bladesystem-general/bl20p-g3-additional-memory/m-p/4149303#M2142 Hello,<BR /><BR />Currently I have 4 2GB sticks of PC2-5300 RAM available and a BL20p G3 with 4GB ram (2 sticks for 2GB, 2 spare banks). I know BL20p G3 uses slower type of RAM. I want to expand this G3 blade to 8GB.<BR /><BR />Can I:<BR />1. Add 4GB of PC2-5300 to it?<BR />2. Take out the existing 4GB and add 8GB of PC2-5300 RAM?<BR /><BR />or do I have to buy PC2-3200 RAM for it?
