Update to the story of the weird RAM. Shortly after Lennart posted this, I hit eBay "one last time" and saw some guy selling 4x8G sticks of the exact Kingston memory out of Quebec for $35/stick (+shipping and HST). He had only listed them a few hours earlier and there was already an "offer"

Hello GTALUG, I have an HP ML110 G6 which I'm using for some minor virtualization, but it has 12G of RAM in it. I've been looking how to bring it up to 32G, but the options have been risky and expensive. So much so, that replacing it with a different machine seems more worthwhile. Does a
