Power Edge 2600 Memory

Question

The PowerEdge 2600 supports up to six PC2100 (DDR266), in 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, 1GB and 2GB DIMM sizes, for a total memory capacity of 12GB, depending on the type of motherboard that shipped in each model.Originally, the PowerEdge 2600 server series shipped with motherboards that supported a 400MHz Front-Side Bus (FSB), and could support a 1GB maximum DIMM size, 6Gb total capacity.Later in the production cycle, the motherboards were upgraded to 533 MHz FSB and have a maximum DIMM size of 2GB, 12Gb total capacity. Memory Architecture 72-bit ECC PC-2100 DDR SDRAM DIMMs, with 2-way interleaving Memory module sockets six 72-bit wide 168-pin DIMM sockets Memory module capacities 128-, 256-, 512 MB, or 1-GB registered DDR SDRAM DIMMs Minimum RAM 256 MB Maximum RAM 6 GB 12GB are supported since Bios update 10, but now the question, how many PIN's should have the modules ? Because in the table they 've written 168 Pin but if you search for it over the internet it tells you 184 Pins.   What is now correct ?   Thanks

The PowerEdge 2600 system board has six 72-bit (184-pin) sockets for DDR memory modules. These modules are PC2100-compliant registered DDR DIMMs. The modules are configured as 72 bits wide, to provide for ECC. The memory controller in the Plumas chip set performs the ECC. The system supports a minimum of 256MB upgradeable to 12GB by installing identical pairs of DDR SDRAM DIMMs in the six DIMM sockets on the system board.

this is the correct information

Visually check your motherboard/RAM if you want to confirm for yourself ... here is what the 184's look like next to the 168's. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DIMM
