Thinkstation D30 memory modules

Hello,
I have a D30 with 2x Xeon E5.
I want to change memory to 32 GB.
In order to keep upgrading possible I want to use 16 GB Rdimms.
In the Manual is stated:
• If your computer has two microprocessors installed, install equal numbers of memory modules in both
sets of microprocessor DIMM slots for maximum performance.
That's clear, BUT is there a minimum of memory modules when you have 2x CPU's?
So will it work with 1x 16Gb module at CPU1 and 1x 16Gb at CPU2 ???
thnx again.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You can certainly run with a single DIMM for each CPU.

  • Mixing memory modules on Westmere

    Dear Hardware gurus,
    I have a 12-Cores Westmere. Do you know is it possible to mix different memory modules on it, namely:
    6x1 Gb 1330Mhz
    +
    2x4 Gb 1066Mhz
    and if yes, in which configuration?
    Thanks a lot for any comment!

    Kappy, thanks for the note.
    I am actually going to order some more 1333 modules, but just for the short time I have to work with what I have currently (see my original post).
    As I posted above, I tried a bit already to combine the modules and Mac doesn't boot
    Can you suggest a configuration, which will work?

  • Memory modules and hard drive not recognized

    I removed and reinserted the factory installed Satellite L505D-LS5007 laptop hard drive and memory modules just as practice for installing a hard drive upgrade and an 8GB memory upgrade. The problem is obviously with the memory and not with the hard drive.
    After the first practice try, one memory module was recognized. Also for a few seconds after the first practice try, I ran the PC with the battery installed, but no memory installed. I did not look in the User's Guide first to see that I should have removed the battery before removing the memory.
    Now the System Indicator Lights for the HDD Activity and Memory Card Reader do not light up. The PC turns on and the display is solid black with no messages.
    Before buying new memory modules, what possible ways might there be to get the PC to recognize the factory installed memory modules and hard drive again?

    When troubleshooting, I always change one variable at a time. I would hate to miss a solution by being in a hurry. In this case, you may have damaged either the RAM or the RAM slot. I would stick with the Toshiba specifications for the RAM, making sure it is the correct size, speed and type recommended. I also recommend that when you replace the RAM that both modules be from the same manufacturer, size, and specification. Try one RAM module in one slot and then the other. And then try both RAM modules in both slots. After the testing you should be able to figure if this is a RAM problem or a RAM slot problem.
    In the case of hard drives, the real test is whether or not the Bios sees the hard drive. If the Bios doesn't see the hard drive, it's not going to work. The Bios should see the hard drive whether or not the hard drive is partitioned, formatted or has data on it. My experience has been that many Toshiba laptops will work fine with larger capacity hard drives provided they are the same speed in RPMs, have the same interfacing connection and physically the same size.
    Again, prior to doing any work on your computer, make sure that both the AC power has been disconnected and the battery has been removed. Be careful out there. A blown repair job by a non-Toshiba tech is NOT covered under warranty.

  • Memory modules for Msi Big Bang trinergy

    Hey forum,
    i want to buy some memory modules for my trinergy mobo because the ones i had earlier also proved to be incompatible. I would like to ask you if there are any memory modules besides the ones recommended from the MSI site concerning my mobo. I am looking for a 2x2 gb ram kit with a heat dispenser so it can work around 1600mHz. Thank you in advance 
    P.S Is the list on the site the only one? i mean are there any updated versions of it with more high end memory modules tested?

    Ideally you would provide us with your fullsystem specs first >>Posting Guide<<
    From a memory perspective, the reason these modules have heatspreaders is mostly due to marketing and to impress the potential buyers. The secondary reason is that most manufacturers sell you overvolted and overclocked 1066 or 1333 chips on a 1600 marketed module that needs 1,65V instead of the standard 1,5V. Your memory controller is part of the CPU and natively only supports 1333 at 1,5V.
    If you really insist, then at least get yourself a 1600 kit that does this speed at 1,5V. One of the modules that seem to work well are the CMZ4GX3M2A1600C9 from Corsair. From a user perspective, the mem modules from Crucial that you see in my signature come highly recommended as they have been proven to work on the P55 platform whenever used.

  • Mixing memory modules of different sizes in a Mac Mini

    I have a MM Intel Core Duo with a 1.66GHz processor and 512 MB 667 MHz SDRAM. Model Macmini1,1, 32 Bits, SMC Version (system): 1.3f4.
    Anybody know if you can mix memory modules in it? I have the standard 256 modules (2) and would take one out and replace it with a 1 GB one. Can this be done?
    Thanks

    +Anybody know if you can mix memory modules in it? I have the standard 256 modules (2) and would take one out and replace it with a 1 GB one. Can this be done?+
    Yes, you can do this. You will get a slight performance hit on video, but that will be more than offset 99% of the time by the extra RAM reducing overloading of the Virtual Memory system.
    However, it is enough work to replace the RAM and RAM is cheap enough, that I'd recommend putting in two matched 1 Gig modules instead.

    i have a mac mini mid 2011, this device have; 2,3GHz and 2 Gb Memmory.I want to upgrade the memory and i need the list of supported memory modules. i am from turkey.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    The Mid 2011 Mac mini supports 8 GB of memory officially, but you can install up to 16 GB of RAM, so you can use 2, 4 and 8 GB modules. You can buy more RAM from OWC or Crucial.
    If you are looking for memory at a local shop, make sure you buy 1333 MHz DDR3 memory. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4432?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

    Is it right to mix sizes of memory modules in a mac mini 2012? for example 2Gb 8Gb?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    You can do that without any problem, always that the total amount of memory is less than the maximum memory your Mac mini supports. A Late 2012 Mac mini supports 16 GB of memory, and you can find in this site the steps to install more memory > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4432?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US#1

  • 2Gb Memory Modules - Power Mac G5?

    New here, but a returning Mac user.... at last....
    Just got hold of an older (early 2005) G5 Power Mac (Dual 2.7Ghz). Can anyone tell me if it's OK to upgrade the memory using 2Gb memory modules (assuming of course I have matching pairs, and don't exceed the max memory - 8Gb I think)?
    Sorry, I'm only able to find that 2 x 1Gb modules is OK, but so far nothing on 2 x 2Gb modules...
    Thanks.

    2 x 2Gb modules will not work.

  • K7T, memory modules and slowness

    Bonjour à tous.
    That’s the first time I post… It’s hard for me to write in english…
    My motherboard is K7T Turbo (MS-6330). I have two problems :
    1. I have three memory modules : 256 MB, 128 MB and 64 MB. All three are 133 MHz speed.
    The memory test of  Norton Utilities indicates alwys an error at  an address about 356888576 (the address is not always the same, but always greater or equal than the one I wrote above.
     When just one of these three memory modules is used, the memory test is always OK (any module plugged in any socket)
     The test is also always OK with the two modules 256 an 64 MB,
     Also OK with the two modules 128 and 64 MB,
     But it is Always failed with the two modules 256 and 128 MB.
    Here is my conclusion : my K7T Turbo has a problem « addressing the memory in the space around the address 356888576 and above ».
    356888576 is 1545B000 in hexadecimal. 256 MB + 128 MB = 18000000 (hexa) is the only combination of my memory modules that goes ahead 1545B000 (256 MB + 64 MB = 10400000)
    Do you think my motherboard is guilty ?
    2. The Memory Bandwidth Benchmark of  SiSoftware Sandra 2002 gives me a result about 895 MB/s.
    The result is the same with one, two or the three memory modules. And It seems to me very low.
    Is it possible to obtain better ? Is it necessary to upgrade the BIOS (my version is 2.9) ?

  • Changing memory modules in Satellite M30X-165

    The Notebook has two memory modules with 512 MB each module. I have received a used 1 GB module.
    Can I remove one of the 512 MB modules and install the 1 GB module to get total 1,5 GB RAM or need both modules the same memory size?

    According notebook specification you can upgrade your machine up to 2GB of RAM so you can use one 1GB RAM and one module with 512MB. Important is that you use 100% compatible memory modules.
    Just for your info: compatible PC2700 1GB memory module has part number PA3313U-1M1G.
    Make upgrade, test it and post some feedback.

  • Matching Memory Modules?

    I recently bought a new iMac G5 with a 1GB memory module pre-installed. I have added a 1GB memory module and I am wondering if there is any way for me to tell whether the memory is matched, that is, operating at a 128-bit data path. I read about matching memory here http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300082 . I am mainly wondering because after installing the module I have not noticed any improvement in speed or performance. The additional module that I bought is by Crucial (part # CT12864Z40B.M16FD). The factory installed module is by Micron (part # MT16VDDT12864AG-40BD1). The new module that I received looked physically different from the original one - it is more narrow and the chips are smaller and square (vs. the rectangular chips on the originally installed module) but all of the technical specifications listed for it were the same as for the one originally installed in my system. So I donÕt know if that would make them not a Òmatching pair.Ó In the system profiler it does say that there is a total system memory of 2GB but I canÕt find any information as to whether the data path is 64-bit or 128-bit. How can I find this out?
    Thanks very much for any help,

    Hello All,
    I ordered a second 1 Gig DIMM for my iMac G5 (rev. B) on Monday. My original module was a PQI brand 1 Gig with 16 chips (8 on each side).
    The new one that arrived, is a generic assembled with Motorolla chips and also has 16 chips (8 on each side).
    I spoke with the guy on the phone at Other World Computing (the place I purchased the original module from and the new module).
    I explained to him that I wanted to end-up with a "matched" set that would provide the 128-BIT communication.
    He told me that he would look up my original order, and get me a module that would match.
    I mentioned to him that I had heard that the modules needed to be identical if they were to be recognized as a matched set and be utilized with the 128-BIT path.
    He told me that you don't really need to go that far. He said that they just need to be the same size (capacity) and speed.
    My modules do appear to be "matched" according to the Terminal Script, and the "testgbusG5us" utility I mentioned previously (see other post). So, they are reportedly communicating at the 128-BIT rate.
    In my system Profiler, the original PQI module is listed as:
    PC3200U-30330
    The new generic module is listed as:
    PC3200U-30440
    So, they appear to not be 100% identical, but they are recognized at a "matched" set.
    I haven't been able to find a translation on the Internet for the numbers after the dash. But, the limited information I could find indicates that the first number "3" in the 30xx0 number is the CAS rating.
    So, it appears as though they are the same size and speed.
    Anyone know what the other numbers mean?
    Anyway, I thought I would post what I found for the benefit of others who are thinking about buying another module.
