Note 1: 1333/1066 QR RDIMMs MHz will run at 800 MHz (-BIOS automatic downgrading)
Note 2: 1333 SR/DR RDIMMs MHz will run at 800 MHz (-BIOS automatic downgrading)
Note 3: 1333 SR/DR/QR RDIMMs MHz will run at 800 MHz (-BIOS automatic downgrading)
Note 4: MIxing of 1.35V and 1.5V DIMMs is not recommended.
Note 1: Due to OS limitations, some operating systems may not show
more than 4 GB of memory.
Note 2: Due to memory allocation to system devices, the amount of
memory that remains available for operational use will be reduced when
4 GB of RAM is used. The reduction in memory availability is dispropor-
tional. (See the following Memory Availability Table.)
