HP allows MediaSmart Server memory upgrades, still wants you home before the streetlights come on

Congratulations, HP MediaSmart Server owners, you can finally undertake such drastic hardware modification as upgrading the RAM without voiding the warranty. A 2GB stick should help speed up the console and any particularly memory-hungry add ins you've loaded, but word is this can be slightly trickier than your average RAM upgrade and HP warns you're still on the hook for any damage incurred during an upgrade. Now, where'd we put that screwdriver?

and what happens after you have put 4Gb in it and need more memory? Oh wait, NOTHING! Because the OS is still 32-bit!

Highly Ranked
