Memory Question - Precision 690

Hi,

 

i have a precision 690. Using win xp 64. i have 4 gig of memory, and i want to get more. Question is, i have 4 slots remaining, can i get 8 gig (4 x 2gig strips), so that would mean i would have 12 gig of memory. Or, because i have 4 x 1gig strips, does that mean i have to get the same - 4 x 1gig strips giving me 8 gig of ram?

 

I have phoned dell (living in austria) and the guy i spoke to suggested i ask on here....

 

Many thanks for any help

 

jon

    As long as the pairs match you can mix sizes across the board. The real question is - can I load non-ECC memory on a 690? I know you cannot mix ECC and Non-ECC, but can the chipset support NON-ECC if that is all that is loaded? Imagine, 8Gb of Ram for just $158.00 (4x2Gb).
