I am being told that some limits on some HP servers can be crossed. Do any of you have any experience with that?

A ML150/G6 is limited to 48GB RAM but I have been talking to a German company that guaranties me that this server will be able to be upgraded to 384GB RAM (using 32GB memory modules and 2 CPUs)

Can this really be true?

The server that I have is using E5504 CPUs but will I be able to upgrade to any CPU that is using a LGA1366 socket? All from a low wattage L5640 all the way to the 6 core, high wattage versions like an X5650? (If cooling and power is adequate ofcause). Is there any limitation with powerregulators and chipset (Intel 5500).

I am looking forward to any reply. Thanks in advance and best regards, - Morten Green Hermansen, Fanitas
