Re: Non HP Memory
HP will tell you this voids the warranty.
They may even refuse to service the system under certain circumstances.
However, many of my colleagues have used Kingston memory in their systems without any troubles.
So its up to you. Normally being firm with HP support will get them to service your system. They are likely to try and charge you if you bring them out to swap out one of the Kingston chips.

Re: Non HP Memory
if you don't have any valid contract/service on the server so why not, but if you have, i will never do it, because of te warranty.

Re: Non HP Memory
warranty". Generally, HP doesn't warrant
components which it didn't sell you, but the
memory vendors tend to do what they say
they'll do in case of failure.
If you tell HP that your computer doesn't
work, then they might (reasonably) require
that you demonstrate the problem after you
remove the non-HP component(s). Evidence of
actual damage (charring, solder spatter, ...)
around the empty memory sockets might arouse
suspicion.
Reading the actual fine print in the warranty
might be more reliable than soliciting
opinions from people who can't see it.
My junk systems are not under warranty or
service contract, so I tend to use cheapest
flotsam I can find on Ebay. In the category
of registered ECC modules, the amount of
sub-standard, no-name junk seems to be
vanishingly small, and I haven't had any
trouble with any third-party memory in any of
my serious computers. (Who makes HP's memory
these days? HP? I doubt it.)

Re: Non HP Memory
I have found a document wich state Warrenty does not void, in case of non HP Branded memory.
http://h20195.www2.hp.com/V2/GetPDF.aspx/4AA0-4216ENW.pdf
Page 8: The HP memory warrenty.
That should put the Warrenty Viod ghost to rest.
