BL460 G6 memory controller speed
The quickspec seems to indicate that the memory speed is set automatically based on number and type of DIMMs. With 2 DIMMs per channel it should go to 1066.
What happens if I override this to 1333 in the BIOS setup?

Re: BL460 G6 memory controller speed
The processor rules will trump the BIOS setting. Regardless of the change you make here your memory bus will be 1066 (unless you have 2x 4GB quad-ranks installed).
My guess is that this option is provided only for slowing down the bus (maybe in a cluster with non-identical hardware?) I recommend not setting it to a speed higher than that specified in the quickspecs.
Good luck!

Re: BL460 G6 memory controller speed
Is there anyway in BIOS or thru some utility to determine the actual memory controller speed that has been selected?
We've been running some memory benchmarks with 1 and 2 DIMMs per channnel and we don't see any performance differences.

Re: BL460 G6 memory controller speed
I recommend using a third-party utility such as Everest, available here:

Re: BL460 G6 memory controller speed
This is the one case where BIOS won't automatically set the speed to the maximum possible -- to do 2 DIMMs per channel at 1333, you have to set that BIOS setting. Otherwise, you'll get 1066.
Lots of info here:

Re: BL460 G6 memory controller speed
We have just purchased DL380 G6 servers with 96GB. I specifically populated it with 12-8GB 1333MHz DIMMS (2 per channel) to maintain that speed.
From the link to the G6 memory doc it appears I will need to change this setting to "1333 MHz Maximum" in order to realize these speeds.
Is that all correct?
