Comments about Crucial 2GB Upgrade for a HP - Compaq MediaSmart EX475 System:

The installation issue was not a problem with the memory but more with the HP design of there MediaSmart Windows Home Server. The unit has to be essentially dismantled to replace the facotry installed memory. There are some good examples available on the internet to make it easier but it's not for the faint of heart.

Comments about Crucial 2GB Upgrade for a HP - Compaq MediaSmart EX475 System:

The HP MediaSmart server ships with only 512MB of RAM. I purchased the 2GB memory stick to upgrade the RAM in my server. Getting the motherboard out of the server to install the RAM took me about 20 minutes. Installing the memory was quick and easy after I got the motherboard out. The new memory stick worked just fine. I noticed improvement primarily when playing video files.

Added memory to home server. Installation not particularly easy but that is due to the server manufacturer and space constraints in the box.
