Re: new i5 config questions

We got one 8 gig card, versus to 4 gig cards, cost more to start but it will save money if we need to upgrade.

How many RAM slots does the 520 have?  If you start with 6GB and want to
upgrade to 8 later, do you have to remove 2GB & add 4 or can you simply
add 2 more?  If you have to remove the 2GB to add more, then you're
essentially throwing that money away unless you can sell it used.

We ran in to this on our production 570.  We bought it with 16GB RAM but
thanks to more WAS instances we're upgrading to 24GB.  The only upgrade
path has us removing 8GB & adding 16 to get there.  Luckily in our case
we can re-use the freed up 8GB RAM in our DR/dev box, but not everyone
will be so lucky.
