2.3.4System Memory

✎

✎

These systems implement a dual-channel Double Data Rate (DDR2) memory architecture. All models support DDR2 800- and 667-MHz DIMMs. The USDT system provides two SODIMM sockets supporting up to eight gigabytes of memory while the SFF and CMT form factors provide four DIMM sockets and support a total of 16 gigabytes of memory.

DDR and DDR2 DIMMs are NOT interchangeable.

SODIMM and DIMM components are NOT interchangeable.
