Hi all,

System:

Alpha Server 2100 4/275 (one CPU)
512MB RAM (one 512-MB module)

We need to upgrade RAM by 256MB.

Question:

The Alpha manual states:

MS451-CA 512-MB 60-ns memory

MS450-CA 128-MB 80-ns memory

If we add 2 x 128MB modules with a different speed
(80-ns vs 60-ns) is this safe/feasible?
Has anyone done this?

Replies from suppliers have been ambivalent.

Thanks,

Damian
