Memory and Microprocessor Configuration

For higher system speed or greater throughput, SDRAM memory can be upgraded by replacing DIMMs with those of greater size.

When configuring or upgrading SDRAM, observe the following rules:

•Each DIMM must be a 168-bit unbuffered version and have a frequency of 100 MHz.

•Each bank consists of two DIMMs and must be fully populated.

•Both DIMMs in the same bank must be of equal size.

5.1Configuring SDRAM Memory

Although not an exhaustive list, Table 5–1lists the tested SDRAM memory configurations available. As additional configurations become available, they will be posted in online revisions of this manual on the Alpha OEM World Wide Web Internet site. See Appendix A for the URL.

For a list of vendors who supply components and accessories for the

AlphaPC 164SX, see Appendix A.

Refer to Figure 2–1for DIMM connector locations.

Note: 1Mb × 72 and 1Mb × 64 DIMMs are not supported.
