ML370 G3 and Smart Array 641 - How much can it handle?

Currently our server only has 4 x 36GB. From what I see on the specs on HP.ca it can handle up to 6 x 72.8 GB.

The HP.ca site also tells me that our server can handle up to 12GB of RAM. I believe that we are at 4GB.

Does anyone know differently? Is there something I'm overlooking?

I'm new to the HP servers, so I'm a little unsure how to read the specs sometimes.

That's what I was getting from the quickspecs too.

Now I'm trying to figure out why our vendor would tell us that this server is at its maximum capacity for RAM and HDD space.

Hmmm......

It might be the maximum capacity of RAM for the Operating System if you have a 32bit operating system. If you have more than 4GB it might recognize only 4GB or less, but it can be resolve by entending the Physical Address Extension (PAE)
