Installing Additional Memory

The computer comes with double data rate synchronous dynamic random access
memory (DDR-SDRAM) dual inline memory modules (DIMMs).

DIMMs

The memory sockets on the system board can be populated with up to four industry-
standard DIMMs. These memory sockets are populated with at least one preinstalled
DIMM. To achieve the maximum memory support, you can populate the system
board with up to 4GB of memory configured in a high-performing dual channel
mode.

DDR-SDRAM DIMMs

For proper system operation, if the computer supports DDR-SDRAM DIMMs, the
DIMMs must be:
industry-standard 1874-pin
unbuffered PC2100 266 MHz, PC2700 333 MHz, or PC3200 400 MHz
compliant
2.5 volt DDR-SDRAM DIMMs
The DDR-SDRAM DIMMs must also:
support CAS latency 2 or 2.5 (CL = 2 or CL = 2.5)
contain mandatory JEDEC SPD information
In addition, the computer supports:
128M bit, 256 Mbit, and 512bit non-ECC memory technologies
single –sided and double-sided DIMMS
DIMMs constructed with x8 and x16 DDR devices, DIMMS constructed with x4
SDRAM are not supported
The following processor bus frequencies are required for the system to run at the
supported memory frequencies.
