2+2+4+4GB Ram sticks?

[bbqroast]

Hey I have 2x2GB (4GB) of UDIMM server RAM and was wondering if I could purchase a additional 2 4GB sticks (8GB) giving me 12GB of RAM in total.
a. Will these work together the (first two 2GBs are Dell sticks and the second two 4GB sticks are crucial "Dell Certified" RAM) or should I remove the old RAM???
b. How should I go around installing these (what slots?).
BTW I am installing in a Dell T110 Server

You got 4 slots with 2 per channel. Put the 2GB ones on the same channel and the 4GB ones on the same channel and it should be fine. Just make sure they are all running the same speed in case the newer ones are faster. 1333MHz is the supported speed according to Dell. You might have to set some things in the bios but not necessarily.

Hi there, u can try it , it should work.

Is the RAM same voltage?

I will check, it does say "Dell Certified RAM" so I assume so...
The new RAM is 1.5V and it is 1333MHz any easy way to check the old RAM (is it on the sticks- Dell PCs are easy to get inside).

ram voltage is on the sticker if they are the same voltage install em in the order 2 2 4 4 and they should work fine , i did the same and they are working perfectly

Use the CPU-Z @ http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html
Look at the bottom... where is 1.5V on the pic.

It is a Ubuntu Server so can't use CPU-Z. I was unable to read the labels on the RAM properly but I couldn't see any voltages 🙁.

I will try to find the Dell Purchase docs...

4GB Memory (2x2GB), 1333MHz Single Ranked UDIM
Not very handy 🙁.

go into your bios check the ram voltage
