Zhi Min,

The x345 does not have the Summit chipset.  Only 4-way and above IBM Intel
servers employ the Summit chipset.  There should be no issues supporting 4
or 8gb of RAM under FC1.  Please note that IBM will not support FC1 on any
of their equipment.  You may have issues if you have a ServeRAID adapter
or RSA card installed in the x345 since drivers may not be updated for
FC1.
