8gb RAM in SC430?

Someone recently got 8GB working in a 440SC, even though it seems Dell doesn't support this.

So I'd say you have to test it and find out, unless someone else maybe tried it before you.

I found the below info:

 

The PowerEdge SC430 platform supports dual channel, DDR2 SDRAM. The SDRAM Controller is integrated into the Mukilteo GMCH chipset. It supports industry standard 64-bit wide DIMM modules with DDR2 SDRAM. The system memory can operate at clock frequencies of 200, 266 and 333 MHz. The DRAM controller interface is fully configurable through a set of control registers. The PowerEdge SC430 supports the following features:

• Dual DDR2 SDRAM Channels (can operate in single-channel mode, depending on configuration)
• Supports up to 4 double sided DIMM modules
• On-Die Termination (ODT) to improve signal integrity
• Off-chip driver calibration
• 64-bit data interface
• 533/667 MHz system memory bus frequency (PC4200 and PC5300 DDR2 Spec DIMMs)
• 1.8V SDRAM with 0.9V signal termination voltage with ODT of data signals
• Support for memory densities of 256 Mb, 512 Mb, and 1 GB
• Maximum memory configuration: 4GB (4x1GB sticks)
• Variable page sizes 2KB-32KB in single-channel mode, 4KB-64KB in dual-channel mode
• Suspend to Ram support (S3)
• Only unbuffered DIMMs supported
• ECC memory supported

Hi, thanks for your replies.

 

I ordered the memories kingston listed as supported, the 533 MHz just to be safe (they have 667 aswell), part no KTD-DM8400AE/1G

 

 

Hi Jishi,

Can you tell me if this memory worked?

Many thanks.
