Ack, ok... that kind of sucks, though I do want to upgrade to a CX4. Got one more question coming your way, i'll make it a new post though not to mix things up.
Thanks as always

well technically there is nothing stoping you putting more ram in i've tried this.
but you will end up with an error like this.
ErrorCode: 0x00000165
ErrorDesc:
FRU: Motherboard | Memory
Device: RAM
Description: Illegal Memory Size Error!
Rev: 01.59
Expected Memory Size: 2048 MB
Actual Memory Size: 8192 MB
the only way to get the storage processor to boot from that point is to enter a diag password and manually force it to boot, which for a production system is completely out of the question.
i'm not even sure it can use the extra ram once installed but here's a screenshot showing it's detected.
