8GB RAM

an0nymous

Hi,

I've seen some Qotom boxes with the newer Intel NICs (not 219) and I've seen you can get either 4GB or 8GB RAM. If I bought the one with 8GB would Sophos XG home simply not work at all, or would it limit the box down to only use 6GB?

Or would I have to buy the 4GB one and add an additional 2 myself?

    I would suggest to get the 8GB version. The Sophos XG home will still use only 6GB of the RAM but it will work.

    Or to quote Sophos: Home Edition is limited to 4 cores and 6 GB of RAM. The computer can have more than this, but XG Firewall Home Edition will not be able to utilize it.

    Only the home version of Sophos SG (UTM) would use all available RAM.

    Thanks. This makes a lot of sense especially as there is very little price difference between the two. Much more expensive to source a random 2GB stick in the UK

    for reference, this box has just the one so-dimm socket. You cannot add memory, only replace memory
