  • What's the point in upgrading the ram if all it does is transfer data? Ram is so cheap, it would only cost them about $10 to put 1gb in, therefore I can't imagine an upgrade would make any difference.  pls advise.

  • If you're a power user like myself you'll be installing quite a few add ons and modifications beyond the home server interface that HP wants you to use. If these are all running concurrently then the server uses more and more RAM. This is the best fix that I know of. Any CPU upgrades ive tried have worked but been a little touchy. You have to get the EXACT voltage and ratings for anything to run stably.

  • what a pain in the ass, remind me to get the EX 475 I think its already got the 2gb in it.

  • Nae, its got 512. Exactly the same except for the storage space.

  • what ram is used thanks i am thinking of upgrading will it take 2gb

  • It uses DDR2 667 DIMM unbuffered RAM.

    Should be able to pick up a stick from best buy for about $35-$45

  • Why is your audio sooooooooooooooooooo low??

  • Has anyone ever replaced or modified the motherboard on an EX machine?

  • It would make more sense to use a mini itx mobo stick it inside a case and stuff it full of hard drives. To many screws and clips to wind up missing.

  • I noticed this unit does not allow you to RAID - if I were to update the OS to 2008, would I be able to RAID?

  • whats wrong? cant hear a shit with 5.1 maxed out? lol

  • The volume level on this vid blows.

  • "safe to be left on 24/7? "

    What a stupid question again...sigh. What do you think servers are for? To shut them down when you leave the house or go to bed? ha!ha!ha!
