We would like to have the following configuration:<BR />HP 32GB REG PC2-6400 8x4GB LP Dual Rank Memory. We were informed that this configuration will cost us 35% more. I'll appreciate it if some one can recommend which configuration is better and why the second one is more costly.<BR /><BR />Regards to all Tue, 10 Mar 2009 18:30:23 GMT abamohrez 2009-03-10T18:30:23Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/bladesystem-general/new-bl495cg5-server-purchase/m-p/4376032#M5399 Memory configuration suggested by HP is: HP 8GB REG PC2-6400 2x4GB LP Kit for each processor bank.

I'll recommend the cheaper of the two as they are the same memory modules only packaged diffrent...
