Re: G6 DDR3 Memory Configuration Tool

It looks like this tool is still experiencing issues. I selected a SmartBuy High Performance model (2P), put in the p/n and although that came up correctly, it tells me the memory is incorrect. How can it be incorrect if I haven't modified anything yet and that is the base memory hp is shipping preinstalled into the server??? This is frustrating. Part# in question is 530779-005 which includes 8GB RAM - I believe it is 2x2GB (3A & 6B) for Proc1 and 2x2GB (3A & 6B) for Proc2 - I think. Although not recommended but yet allowed, I'd like to add a single 4GB module into 9C on Channel 3 for both Proc1 and Proc2 giving me 16GB total. I wish the configurator would allow for this... Sigh.

Re: G6 DDR3 Memory Configuration Tool

This tool /used/ to work pretty well, then HP deemed it necessary to give it an overhaul, and now it's basically crippled.

If I tell it I have a server part number, it never seems to be able to find it, and the results it gives are now completely nonsensical.
