I have no experience with those tools.
Suppose you buy HP Proliant server with a single X5550 that appears to be the cheapest Xeon with 6.4 GT/s QPI and with a single 1GB DIMM. Then you buy a couple of X5570 and 12x4GB DIMMs in your preferred cheap shop and plug them in.
Do you say that HP management software will refuse to work with upgraded box?
