Hello GTALUG, I have an HP ML110 G6 which I'm using for some minor virtualization, but it has 12G of RAM in it. I've been looking how to bring it up to 32G, but the options have been risky and expensive. So much so, that replacing it with a different machine seems more worthwhile. Does anyone know a local source for these 8G "Dual Ranked, ECC, Unbuffered/NON-REGISTERED" modules? https://trainingrevolution.wordpress.com/2014/01/05/hp-proliant-ml110-g6-ser... Or should I give up and buy a new machine? -- Mike Kallies mike@kallies.ca
Try Crucial.com for their web-based compatibility wizard? Worked for me a few times. Even if you don't want to pay their prices, you have enough information to be dangerous. :-) Cheers, William On Wed, 6 Mar 2019 at 14:52, Mike Kallies via talk <talk@gtalug.org> wrote:

I second Crucials wizard. It's quite a nice tool to find the exact specs you need for RAM, and can then look into other brands, or buy direct from Crucial. Anecdotally, I love Crucial's RAM, even if their prices aren't the best, I've not had issues with any of their hardware in 15+ years of buying from them. -jason On Wed, Mar 6, 2019 at 11:59 AM William Porquet via talk <talk@gtalug.org> wrote:

Here's a fun message: "Crucial currently does not have any compatible upgrades available for your particular system" eBay seems to run about $90/module... which, for used, shaky warranty RAM on an older machine, at roughly double the price of modern non-ECC DDR4, really gives me pause for thought. It's close though I guess and I really don't have time to mess around with new machines. Thanks for the tips, the Crucial thing is useful for some other projects.

Yeah I checked there and I had never ever seen that message before. Wow that is weird ram. I guess the kingston ram mentioned on the link you had would be the safest bet.
eBay seems to run about $90/module... which, for used, shaky warranty RAM on an older machine, at roughly double the price of modern non-ECC DDR4, really gives me pause for thought.

Update to the story of the weird RAM. Shortly after Lennart posted this, I hit eBay "one last time" and saw some guy selling 4x8G sticks of the exact Kingston memory out of Quebec for $35/stick (+shipping and HST). He had only listed them a few hours earlier and there was already an "offer" on it. I hit "buy it now", it arrived and has been running stable with the RAM for the past couple days. Thanks for the advice. Less stuff in the landfill. I swear I've been watching ebay on and off for months on this. They might pop up and disappear very quickly.

This is an awesome story, Mike. Sometimes, you ask and the universe provides. On Thu, Mar 21, 2019 at 11:28 AM Mike Kallies via talk <talk@gtalug.org> wrote:

Not local, but there's compatible memory out there, just depends on how long you can wait and if you're willing to pay for it: https://www.newegg.ca/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&IsNodeId=1&N=100007951%20600564422%20600006161%20600006164%20601275453 (Check the pin count, I didn't filter on that). If you have an account with a channel partner for HP I don't expect you'd be asking here, but they can likely find it cheaper for you. Or eBay may have some that would work. Cheers, Jamon
