Memory in rp8400 rp8420

[Lacrosse]

I am being told we can upgrade out rp8400 to a rp8420 with 1GHz procs but when I look at both quotes the memory modules are different do I need to swap out the memory as well or will the orig rp8400 memory work

The memory that is in the rp8400 will also work in the rp8420. The 1gb dimm part number for both is A6098-69101. Hope this helps!

sounds good....I am assuming this applies to the 4GB modules as well?

4gb dimms? I checked the parts page for the rp8400 and 8420 and the max dimm size I could find is for a 2gb dimm. And these are the same as well.

According to the configurator, the rp8400 can have the following *modules*:
1GB = 256MB DIMM
2GB = 512MB DIMM
4GB = 1024MB DIMM
8GB = 2048MB DIMM


The rp8420 on partsurfer lists the same memory PNs as for the rp8400.

There is a new cell controller for the rp8420, so that you can get up to 16GB/sec bandwidth to memory which is 2X that of the rp8400.
