Advice with RAM upgrade

[aralmeida]

I just bought a HP micro gen8 G1610T for some experimenting/studying.

Upgraded firmware via ilo.

 

Now it is time to upgrade the hardware.

I can't keep that thing in the box much longer: it just seems to be screaming have fun with me!

 

I need some help in choosing RAM for this model that i can also use when i upgrade the processor to a Xeon E3-1220L v2 later on.

 

I read a lot in the forum but didnd't came up with an answer to this problem.

Since the microserver seems to be picky about RAM and i don't want to(can't) throw away money trying to find compatible RAM i decided to ask for help of the very knowlegeble (and experienced) people who know this server inside/out.

 

 

Please forgive my poor English skills.

 

Hope to hear from you soon.

Thank you for helping,

i was looking at those sites but wondering if if really was compatible.

My doubt is if RAM is dependent on processor choice i mean if later on upgrading to a Xeon E3 1220L V2 i can keep the same memory.

 

PS: Sadly Kingston appears to no longer have 16GB Kits.
