Hi
I am currently using a HP ML110G3 machine which comes with 4 Ram Slots.
Currently it occupy One slot with 512MB.
I am running the latest 6.311 and ram usage is 481MB, Free 168MB.
It is recommended by HP that for Ram Upgrade, it must be in same matched pair so that Dual Channel Mode Performance.
Thus since my first ram is 512MB at Slot 1, my second piece should be 512MB placed at Slot3.
After this upgrade, I would have 02 x 512MB (1GB) leaving 2 more slots available.
My question to all is, how much Ram can Astaro Support?
Reason I ask is I need to plan for the other 2 slots since I should buy in pairs thus it is a huge difference between choosing 02 x 512, 02 x 1Gb and 02 x 2GB.
After the addition of 512MB Above, my system would be 1GB.
1) Adding another 02 x 512MB = 2GB for entire system Max.
2) Adding another 02 x 1GB = 3GB for entire system Max.
3) Adding another 02 x 1GB = 5GB for entire system Max.
I am trying to Mimimize the waste of ram when upgrading while be ready for future Astaro Version.
HP Document mentioned that OS may need to be 64bit for more than 4GB Support, does this apply to Astaro since it is linux?
I read about 7.x have this feature whereby it tries to run everything from, Ram, so how much does it need?
I tried to compare with those Astaro Appliance to see how much ram they put in there but there is no hard ware specification.
Overall I am trying to
1) Maximize the Ram without Waste (Adding without wasting the current)
2) Make the full use of this server until the hardware fails and parts such as HDD is so obselete that cannot be replaced. Thus ensuring my Ram is sufficient for future release.
3) Not buying far too much ram when the Astaro would not even use it due to OS limitation. (ie: not going more than 4GB if Astaro indeed have that limitation)
Thank You for all your help.
