DL365 G1 Memory

[Richard M Cullen]

Can anyone tell me if 1GB DDR2 PC2-3200R memory DIMMs will work in a DL365 G1?
I need to add more memory and it's all I have on hand.

Thanks

Documentation as far as I can find only mentions the PC2-5300 DDR2 DIMMs (667 MHz).
Which would indicate that it's not been tested/not supported.

Don't know how much backwards compatibility there is for the DDR2 memory models, odds are that it's stricter on the HP servers.

But if you have the 5300 already installed installing more memory would either mean that it won't work or that the other DIMMs go down in speed. Unsure it's worth them going down that much in speed.. Looked at the transfer rates on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDR2_SDRAM

Thanks. Don't think it's worth the trouble to put in slower memory.

:) Don't forget to give points :p
