Yes, the drop in speed is due to having to use two quad-rank DIMMs on each channel = 8 memory ranks which is the maximum the bus will support. RAM speed isn't that important on commercial applications though, it really matters for scientific things such as weather forecasting. That's assuming the Lenovo doc is correct and it is quad rank, it may be dual rank since they weren't available when it was written. 46U2942-MU seems to be all that is available but can't find Mushkin's datasheet.

Thought that was the case - thank you.<br />

Well I'm wanting to virtualise a DC, RDS server and fairly small databse on 32GB...I'm just worried that 800 will be too slow...

Hi,<br />
<br />
It's a little late in the day and I'm a little brain dead. Can someone help me with the RAM configuration for this machine?<br />
<br />
<a href="http://download.lenovo.com/pccbbs/thinkservers/ts200_hmm.pdf" rel="ugc">Here's</a> the link to the documentation.<br />

I'd like to put 32GB RAM in this system, does it only support 32GB @ 800?<br />
<br />
Thanks

Lenovo TS200 memory configuration

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.
