I am setting up a new Lenovo Thinkserver TS440 in my home as a workstation and as a test server. Here is the system I purchased: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=9091972 . As you see, it has only 4GB RAM installed and I want to upgrade to 32 GB--the maximum allowed. Crucial's recommended RAM solution comes out expensive: Would cost me well over $200. Amazon has http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DCMUDCS?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_sfl_title_10&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER which would cost me $158 at this point. But Amazon's is a Non-ECC. From my research so far, it shouldn't matter too much if I have Non-ECC?
So, given above information, will the Amazon solution work? I will also try to find some old RAM sticks and experiment with them before forking out any money.
BTW, the Amazon RAM module is:
Crucial Ballistix Sport XT 32GB Kit (8GBx4) DDR3 1866 MT/s (PC3-14900) UDIMM 240-Pin Memory
And the recommended one from Crucial is:
8GB DDR3 PC3-12800 Unbuffered ECC 1.5V 1024Meg x 72
Please give your advice/opinion.
