(Note 1) Due to standard PC architecture, a certain amount of memory is reserved for system usage
and therefore the actual memory size is less than the stated amount. For example, 4 GB of
memory size will instead be shown as 3.xxGB memory during system startup.
(Note 2) It is recommended to use SATA (1.5Gb/s) hard disks.
