Dell PowerEdge 2850 & 3rd party memory

[Derek Yuen]

I'm curious if anyone can speak to their experiences with 3rd party memory
in Dell PowerEdge 2850 servers.

I've got a few 2850's that I'd love to upgrade memory for but I'd like to
do so economically using "higher-quality" desktop memory from reputable
manufacturers.

Dell Support told me this practice is okay as long as I'd be willing to
restore the old memory upon request (which I'd be happy to comply).

I'm thinking about buying this:

Corsair 6400C4DHX

or,

Kingston KHX6400D2K2
4GB 800MHz DDR2 Non-ECC CL5 (5-5-5-15) DIMM (Kit of 2)

I'd also appreciate recommendations on brands/modules that have been tried
and works.



Thanks,
Derek
