i currently have a Dell precision T5400 workstation from ebay in temporary storage at a friends house, ive been buying bits for it also from ebay, but there are a couple of things im unsure of, one being the title of course, it mentions in the very small PDF file for the unit that it has 'Support for 2 PCI Express x16 Gen 2 graphics cards up to 150 watts and with up to 1.5GB
graphics memory...' can anyone clarify if this is just due to the testing at the time or can handle one single 3GB graphics card....? ive not yet bought a graphics card. iirc the unit has an 875W dell psu
also mentioned is 'Up to 32GB1 quad-channel architecture Fully Buffered DIMM 667MHz ECC memory; in 8 DIMM slots. DIMMs up to 2GB at 667MHz', i have recently bought the full quantity of FB-DIMMS from ebay, not had a chance to test it yet, im assuming there are 2 typos in this, one being the extra '1' at '32GB1' and is my math is correct, that would be up to 4GB per slot not 2GB, i have seen some people saying they have 32GB in their T5400 system board... and some saying they couldnt get 32GB in their T5400 system board, can anyone also clarify this? im aware i may need to do a bios update
Thanks for any information in advance
