HP's blurb from the DL380 G5's Supplemental Information to Warranty Statement: (http://h2.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c00383139lang=encc=ustaskId=prodSeriesId=1121516prodTypeId=15351) * It is possible to void the warranty on an HP product. Any failure caused by an unsupported or third-party component will not be covered by warranty. Opening a sealed component or sealed product will void the warranty.

RE: Memory Upgrade question
I had a similar vendor say that a few years ago with Compaq. Funny when I went to Compaq and told them what the vendor had said they matched the price, and I did get Branded memory for the same price. I was just lucky enough to get the vendor out of the loop and save quite a bit of money in the process. -Original Message- From: Steve Moffat [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of NTSysAdmin Sent: Tuesday, December 02, 2008 7:44 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Memory Upgrade question Absolute rubbish..

As far as America goes, there is the Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act of 1975 that protects consumers from that garbage.

RE: Memory Upgrade question
I've heard of guys swapping out entire cat-back exhaust systems just to get their vehicles inspected... way too much work for me. Thanks, Jake Gardner TTC Network Administrator Ext. 246 From: Kennedy, Jim [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 02, 2008 2:37 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Memory Upgrade question Yep. My son can get all the blue tooth and GPS hacks out of his car in under 15 minutes. From: RM [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 02, 2008 2:13 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Memory Upgrade question That's easy. Remove aftermarket RAM before placing a service call. There's a reason why my car (with trailer towing expressly contraindicated by the mfr) has a no-splice wiring harness that removes in two minutes.

From: Kelsay, Mark [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 02 December 2008 11:23 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Memory Upgrade question I have been told by our usual hardware vendor that if I use Crucial RAM to upgrade several HP ProLiant DL380 G5 servers that I will void my warranty with HP. He states that we can only use HP branded RAM. There is a £300 difference between the HP branded RAM they quoted us and the price we could get from Crucial. I just spoke with Crucial and they state that this is not true. Anyone else ever come across this issue?
