[SOLVED] memory

Michael Piziak · 05-10-2022, 09:30 AM

Going to buy some memory, but I don't know if I should get buffered or unbuffered.
Is there a way to tell which my system has now?

Addendum: solved. Was told to use ubuffered on the HP forum. Also, someone said buffered was generally used in servers.

Yes; read the manual for your system and look at what it tells you. Or (again) do some basic research, such as typing "linux memory type details" into Google, which gives you the command:

Code:

sudo dmidecode --type 17

...which, AMAZINGLY, will say either "buffered" or "unbuffered" in the output. And before you ask "Where?", it's the "Type Detail" field.

And since you 'solved' your problem, why don't you post the model of your system, so if someone else looks for the solution (as you didn't), they'll find it???
