When you installed four 1 GB DDR memory modules, the system
may detect not more than 3 GB of total system memory because of
address space allocation. This limitation applies only to systms with
Windows
XP 32-bit operating system since it does not support PAE
®
(Physical Address Extension) mode.
We recommend that you install less than 3GB of total system
memory when using windows XP 32-bit operating system.
Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum
compatibility, we recommend that you obtain memory modules from
the same vendor. Refer to the DDR400 Qualified Vendors List on
page 1-14 for details.
