Installing Memory And Hardware; Ecc Memory - Gateway E-3200 Maintaining And Troubleshooting

Installing Memory and Hardware

The E-3200 system board supports:
•
3.3-V , 168-pin unbuffered, Synchronous Dynamic Random Access
Memory (SDRAM) Dual In-line Memory Modules (DIMMs).
•
16 MB and 32MB (16 bit technology)
•
64MB and 128 MB (64 bit technology)
•
Non-ECC (64 bit) and ECC (72 bit) memory
•
Single- or double-sided configurations
•
384MB maximum system memory
You can use 16-MB, 32-MB, 64-MB, and 128-MB DIMMs in any
combination, bank, or order to expand the SDRAM up to 384 MB.

ECC Memory

With error checking and correcting (ECC) memory, multiple bit errors and
single bit errors can be detected and corrected. The BIOS automatically
detects if ECC memory is installed and provides a Setup utility option to
enable error checking. Non-ECC memory does not provide error checking
capability.

Important!
66 MHz FSB processors
can be paired with 66 or
100 MHz SDRAM, but 100
MHz FSB processors
should be paired only with
100 MHz SDRAM.
