Description Robin Johnson archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2011-07-18 20:49:00 UTC 
(Followup to bug #353004)

The RAM previously ordered for Atom nodes to see if it would improve stability has been confirmed to help, and we at least one other Atom node that is exhibiting the stability problems with the old RAM.

We would like at least 4 pieces of the RAM (2 pieces for the unstable machine, plus 2 more for the next unstable machine). If we wanted to just replace all of the RAM, that's only 10 pieces of RAM (5 machines, 2 DIMMS per machine), but I think we just get 4 for now.

Here is a new Ebay sale to purchase the RAM from, it's now at $20/ea, down from the previous $40/ea.

Please deduct from the $1000 annual Infra budget.

We have decided to replace all of the Atom RAM, and then post the old RAM for sale on eBay if it cannot be reused.

New quantity to purchase is now 10 pieces.

quantumsummers: please go ahead and purchase now.
