6x4gb is possible. I have this set up right now on an Ultra27 no problems.
hello,
sorry to jump in on this thread with a different issue for an Ultra 27, but since your post is relatively recent, I hope you still have the set up running and can help...
I am refurbishing an Ultra 27. Regarding RAM, I kept the original 6 (3x2GB) and added 12 (3x4GB) without issues.
I am now moving to GPU(s?).
The machine had a cheap Quadro FX380 on, so I bought a used Quadro FX5800 which is the best card originally supported by the Ultra 27.
Since the deal included a Nvidia Tesla C1060, I am tempted to install that too and see if I can take advantage of the dual setup with a SLI cable.
In terms of connectors I don't see any problem, the motherboard has two PCIe slots for graphic cards and a power connector that supports a split in two 8 pin connectors required
by the Quadro and the Tesla, but I am wondering about power requirements.
The boards according to specs have a typical power consumption of 188 W (Tesla) + 189 W (Quadro); even taking into account the 130 W used by the CPU, the 530 W PSU could be enough, although we are probably rather close to maximum load.
The biggest problem I see is that the Sun service manual says that the two slots have a maximum load of 225 W, but it seems this is for the two slots combined...
Any chance you tried to do something similar?
Thanks,
Luca
