Enthusiasts claim that it hits the perfect balance between cost, performance, noise and power usage, especially for home setups. They also praise Dell for having easy to find firmware.

PowerEdge R710 Mounting Equipment

I have been running my single CPU Dell PowerEdge R710 with 24GB (CT3KIT102472BB1339) in 'Optimized mode' for about 2.5 months now and decided I need to double it again. I have them in slots A1, A2 and A3. If I get another kit (CT3KIT102472BB1339), which slots would I place them in and would I need to change to Advanced ECC mode in the BIOS? RE: Poweredge R710 Memory Upgrade Configuration I currently have 6 - 16GB chips in the server located in slots A1, A2, A3 & B1, B2, B3. I need to add either 2 or 6 more sticks of 16GB to this mix.
