Hi there,
I recently bought a old ML110 G5 for a lab and media server - it has 3GB DDR2 SDRAM – spread over 3x DIMMS - ECC 800 MHz PC2-6400 DIMM 240-pin Unbuffered RAM which so far has been fine.
In terms of upgrading the RAM I did a fair bit of research and understood I would need ECC RAM to retain any of the pre-existing ram or swap out for effectively, desktop ram. Anyway, I managed to purchase 2x 2GB DDR2 ECC PC-5300 and sadly not been able to POST, getting the typical memory beeps. Either as a standalone pair or mixed with the PC-6400 stuff.
Is that expected behaviour for the G5? I know HP only ever reference the PC-6400 variant in their manual and so I wouldn't expect 'support' for it but hoped it would work? No big deal if I have to sell them.
Thanks guys :)
