Can you put this ram in other computers?

[DrQuickDroqqed]

The description and title of this ram says a specific computer model. Can you put this ram in any other model of computer or is it just exclusive to the model that was mentioned?

No. They are Registered Memory kit that are intended to be used on a specific vendor's system.

Registered memory doesnt mean it can only be used on that Vendor, but it has an extra buffer chip which means it can only be used on a board that has ECC RDIMM support. 

 

Things you need to be careful about when looking at server memory:

- Is it Registered (RDIMM), does your board support RDIMM

- Is it ECC, does your board support ECC

- What is the Ranking of the memory e.g 1R, 2R, 4R and does your motherboard support that ranking

 

 

Most server & workstation motherboards support ECC, very few consumer motherboards do. 

Most high end servers support RDIMM (Reg), workstation & consumer motherboards basically dont. 

Most servers support up to 2R or 4R memory, generally consumer boards support 1R or 2R...but you typically cant mix them otherwise multi channel won't work. 

 

Always consult the manual for the board to see what it supports.
