More than 8 GB of RAM on a 31Mk3??????
Posted: Wed Jun 18, 2014 5:14 pm
All,
I know that the documentation says...8GB is the max RAM that my 31Mk3 can hold.
I also now that there are several experts on here that are not afraid to ride on the "wild side" and disprove the documentation.
Point in fact, Mr Azrial has had lightening strike twice now...LOL.....which thankfully has given me the opportunity for my 29Mk5 to see 2GB of RAM and there is 8gig of RAM in the mail for the 30Mk3.
Does anyone know if the 31Mk3's hardware can support anymore than 8GB of RAM.
Usually 8GB is plenty, but for me, in my line of work, I run W7-64 as the host OS and have 3 different VMs (Virtual Machines) loaded that can be fired off on top of my host OS. Currently the 3 VMs are Win XP, W7-64, Server2008R2. It is really nice have 2 different OSs at the same time but it does require a large amount of RAM to run more than one VM at a time, in addition to root OS that is hosting the VM application/software.
Hopefully someone had pushed the envelope on the 31 series to see what it is capable of doing, similar has been done on the 29s and 30s
Any info you will be willing to share would be very much appreciated.
Thank you all for you time and have a great evening.
Respectfully,
Nick
