SDRAM Memory
You can expand computer memory by installing industry-standard Dual Inline
Memory Modules (DIMMs) into the memory expansion boards. The following
requirements must be met when installing additional memory:
■
Supports 100-MHz Registered SDRAM 128-MB, 256-MB, and
512-MB. Will also support 1-GB DIMMs when they are available.
■
Expandable to 8GB using 512-K DIMMs (16GB when 1-GB DIMMs
are available)
Groups of two DIMMs of the same size, type, and speed must be installed or
removed at a time (the eight groups on the memory board are referred to as
banks 1 through 8).
