Must be ECC (unbuffered, not registered):

Thanks for your reply,
EEC unbuffered and not registered? I thought ECC was only buffered and registered RAM? And non-ECC was unbuffered RAM?
Or am i getting my wires crossed?

ECC comes in two types - Registered (also called RDIMM's or buffered; Fully-Buffered is an incompatible variation of Registered ECC RAM) and Unbuffered (also called UDIMM's). Newer systems can take one or the other (RDIMM's for larger memory configurations and UDIMM's for smaller/cheaper/faster configurations), but not both together. Most of Dell's older servers require registered memory; a few of their older/off-beat systems require unbuffered.

Interesting i never knew that!
So i need UDIMM's?
Also I see it has a x4 2GB configuration, can the server take 8GB of RAM? That would be good
