Time to ‘Scale Up’ System Memory
I found a great deal on eBay for some 16GB HP memory modules [DIMMs}, the price was right, (ONLY $8.00 EACH) so I purchased 20 DIMMs to replace all the existing 4GB and 8GB modules. This would take me from 160GB to 384GB of total installed RAM.
The HP 647653-081 is a 16GB DDR3L DIMM that typically costs between $20 and $77 depending on new, used, or third-party compatible options.
Key Specifications
- Capacity: 16GB (1x16GB)
- Speed: 1333MHz (PC3L-10600R)
- Type: DDR3L Low Voltage (1.35V, backward compatible to 1.5V)
- Error Correction: ECC Registered (RDIMM)
- Rank & Organization: Dual Rank (2Rx4)
- Form Factor: 240-Pin DIMM
Comfortable: 192GB DDR3 per CPU
All the VM’s Get an Upgrade!
With all this additional RAM, I can afford to increase the memory in each of my four VM’s. Windows 11, Ubuntu 24.04, KALI Linux, and DragonOS will all be assigned 64GB of RAM.
