Hi Guys. I'm back again with another question. I have a HPZ800 Workstation currently with 16 GB of RAM which is just 2 sticks of Crucial RAM CT102472BB160B (DDR3 PC3-12800 • CL=11 • Dual Ranked • Registered • ECC • DDR3-1600 • 1.5V • 1024Meg x 72 • )
I now need to bring the RAM to spec so I can install Oracle Fusion in it. Oracle Fusion requires at least 128GB RAM.
I was going to purchase : 8 sticks of 16GB RAM and on getting to Crucial, what they recommended was this: CT102472BB160B (DDR3 PC3-12800 • CL=11 • Dual Ranked • x4 based • Registered • ECC • DDR3-1600 • 1.35V • 2048Meg x 72 • ) I noticed that this was 1.35V as opposed to 1.5V and whether that mattered I have no clue.
So I asked for more recommendations and I got this: CT204872BB160B (DDR3 PC3-12800 • CL=11 • Dual Ranked • Registered • ECC • DDR3-1600 • 1.5V • 2048Meg x 72 • )
Now both options will cost the same i.e. £99.59 x8 so decision is price insensitive.
On the basis that 1.5V across the board sounds better I decided to opt for the 1.5V. then I thought - be safe than sorry and weepy. Ask for advise.
So here am I asking for your expert opinion about which to purchase and whether it mattered.
the second problem is the seating of the RAM chips. HP recommends that the lower memories be seated nearer the CPU whilst the high memories are placed outer or is the reverse? Since the workstation has 12 seats for the ram chips and I will be leaving 2 free, then I thought maybe buy 2 x 8GB, 8 x 16GB (16 + 128 = 144) plus the 16 already there now - giving me 160 GB RAM.
Most importantly - all the seats will be filled.
Is this a good idea you think? Please help. I need to start moving asap.
Two questions : First which chip to buy and does it even matter?
Second - seating arrangements - place the 4 x 8GB chips nearest the two CPUs i.e. 2 to each CPU. Then place the 4 x16 GB after so populating all the available slots.
Please help!!!
