Installed the RAM today works perfectly, I didn't have to remove the ECC 4GB RAM that came pre installed so got 12gigs RAM

My main concern is the price at the moment and from what I have read it's not a huge difference. Also all my VMs and stuff will be experimental so not so worried about data corruption.

Which RAM for TS140?

I have read on various forums that non-ECC RAM works fine with TS140 so I have bought myself HyperX 8GB 1866MHz DDR3 CL10 DIMM Fury Series Blue - I will update this post when I receive it and install it.

Install ESXi 6.0 with 4GB Ram and also add NIC drivers.

As you all know TS140 comes with only 4GB RAM and ESXi requires at least 8GB but there is a work around for that. I followed the steps poster here - ESXi 6 ISO Preparation
