Nice.
Is there any reason why it cannot be configured for 64gb RAM? There are 8 memory slots but only allowing 32gb on the configuration tool?

Wasnt there a discussion a week ro so ago about 8GB memory sticks, and how PCS dont yet supply them? Or am I mixing this up with something else. In this case this would mean it is capable of 64 but PCS just cant yet supply it.

I don't think it is that because you can configure it for 32gb with 4x 8gb sticks. It's as though we are only using 4 memory slots, not utilising all 8.

Ah ok fair enough, not sure then

Basically, 32gb (4 x 8gb) costs roughly £700, 64gb would then be around £1400. Not quite sure there would be many takers. As the price comes down over the nxt few months we will add the 64gb product.

Fair point!
But you never know
