Replacing memory (all machine types)

The computer has four connectors for installing dual inline memory modules
(DIMMs) that provide up to a maximum of 4.0 GB of system memory.
When installing DIMMs, the following rules apply:
v Fill each DIMM connector sequentially, starting at DIMM connector 1.
v Use 2.5 V, 184-pin, 333 MHz double data rate synchronous dynamic random
v Use 128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB or 1.0 GB DIMMs in any combination.
v DIMMs are 38.1 mm (1.5 inches) in height.
Note: Only DDR SDRAM DIMMs can be used.
