Memory Upgrade Kits

The system is upgradable to 2048 MB (2 gigabytes [GB])
by installing combinations of 16- or 64-MB single-sided or

should be rated at 60 nanoseconds (ns) or 70 ns. Table 8-1
shows several sample memory configurations. Memory
upgrade kits can be purchased from Dell as needed.

SIMM Installation Guidelines

The SIMM sockets are labeled "J1" through "J16" (see
