Hi,

Does anyone have any tips/gotcha's about putting the full 16GB
compliemnt of RAM into a PE 1855? I have 3 of them and have identical
3rd party 4GB RAM sticks for each.   Of the 3:
- One is happy with the full 16GB
- One won't post, just emits a S-O-S type beep
- One tells me I've mixed up the ranking of the pairs

Flashing the BIOS and BMC doesn't seem to help, so either I'm missing
something very obvious or 2 of these boxes are horked.

Thanks,

-n
