memory consideration

I am in the process of upgrading the RAM from 92 to 192 on my four blades 460c G7. I have two options:

1333 Dual Rank instead or 1066 Quad Rank. Which one would be better for virtualization?

I don't think you will see a differencce in performance (except for maybe some benchmark applications). However, in case of Quad-Rank DIMMS, ensure you read the HP Quickspecs (Memory) regarding DIMM population and at which speed (1066 or 800) it will operate.

looks like dual ranked are better. quad will default at 800 with 16GB.

thanks
