Is 256MB RAM the absolute max for the Proliant 1500?

We had been looking closely at the Compaq Proliant 1500 and had one major concern: the fact that you can put no more than 256MB of RAM in the machine (133mhz version). Compaq says, "That's all, folks!". Does anyone have any further information on this? Does Compaq have anything in the works? If you know that *this is it*, I'd appreciate knowing that as well. Otherwise, we might end up dropping the 1500 off our list and turning to the just-announced Proliant 5000. Thanks for any help.

But 256MB is a lot. A server with 256 MB means you probably have a lot of storage, running lots of NLMs, and with lots of activities. I would think that with 256MB and your server is running out of steam then would it be better to have another server rather than putting more memory in it?. If it is just adding more RAM to accommodate more disk space then you must have a lot of storage. With that much space, I hope you an array (no sense to do duplex with this much storage) because if something go wrong it would a long time to restore. Just a thought Daniel Tran - dtran@ucla.edu

The first processor boards had a limitation of 208MB. Current processor boards for the 133Mhz and 166Mhz versions can go up to 256MB. Maybe Compaq will builds some new processor boards in the future with more memory slots. Marcel
