20J : 2048 mb 533 mHZ

21K : 1024 mb 533 mHZ

22K : 1024 mb 533 mHZ

23L : not installed

24L : not installed

Fourth Bank

25M : not installed

26M : not installed

27N : not installed

28N : not installed

29O : not installed

is it right this config?

Thank you

My experience with the DL585 G1 was that in order to run ESX3 you will have to put identical amount of RAM into each memory board. It was not possible to mix memory sizes across memory boards. I think with the G2 it is handled the same way.
