System memory interface

Altos G330 has four DIMM slots divided into two memory channels.

System memory configuration guidelines

To ensure data integrity, use only Acer-approved DDR2 667 unbuffered ECC modules in 512 MB, 1 GB, or 2 GB capacities.

Use identical modules—same type, banking, stacking technology, and manufacturer.

The minimum memory configuration is one DIMM, installed in the DIMM1A slot (the slot closest to the processor socket).

The system does not support a three-DIMM memory configuration.
