Memory speed in HP Z600 and HP Z800

[DGroves · Accepted solution]

dual rank memory is the preferred one over the others and as both "SDH" and I have pointed out max mem speed is mostly processor dependant except for quad rank ram which is always 800mhz on the z800

Yes, the Z800 is now here and the memory run with an effective clockspeed of 1333 MHz. Like expected. My thanks to you and SDH.

A request for some clarification:

Do you mean that the Z800 arrived with 1 or 2 processors in it and some memory sticks that are less than 16GB each? If so what processor(s)?

The reason I ask is that we never clarified whether you are getting a v1 or a v2 Z800. You can tell that from an entry in BIOS... the boot block date. That issue has been posted about here in the past. Your Z600 is a v2 based on the processors it is running. 

That does not mean they will run in the Z800 (unless it is a v2 also). We all hope it is a v2, of course.
