It uses PC2-5300 fully buffered dram (ddr2-6700) so yeah, that ram is going to be expensive since its an older generation. looks to take 4x4 1/2/4/8GB sticks, in pairs, but if you have all 4 CPUs, you probably need to populate all 4 banks. oh, and there were memory expansion mezzenaine cards, so bringing it up to 32 dimms total. I figured for laughs I'd try and find a ram layout for it, but best I've found says its printed on the lid to the CPU/memory module. http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&taskId=125&prodSeriesId=3454575&prodTypeId=15351&prodSeriesId=3454575&objectID=c03047771 -- john r pierce 37N 122W somewhere on the middle of the left coast
