16GB in HP Microserver for cheap

Based on another thread I thought I share this as I was asked this a few times now.

Found some affordable ram for the Microserver (even works in N36L) which actually works - 16GB / 2x8GB UDIMMS

You can get it in the UK here.

And yes, it does work just fine and is cheap and cheerful

I got a n40l I rock esxi on, might try and find a good deal around here, ram and hd's are getting super cheap.

Newegg had the Microserver on sale with RAM for 289 the other day. I already put together a Shuttle sh67h3 for vmware though.

Mmmm... intersting ... my N36L works perfectly with the RAM, installed Centos, Windows and then ESX and it saw 16GB all the time when rebooting. Now on the N40L I see issues people reported over the internet - that only 5 or less in 10 reboots the 16GB are reported correctly. I did however find out that the issues only showed up since the latest bios upgrade (which is weird as the N36L has the same MB / bios) so I am downgrading now and see how it goes.

I know there IS a combination which works : here

They sell it with 16GB and with warranty but that is ECC ram - as a result it costs three times as much ..

I shall report back after the bios upgrade - currently trying that via IPMI (what could possibly go wrong).
