Memory

You can increase your computer memory by installing memory modules on the system board.

Your Dell Dimension™ computer supports DDR2 memory. For additional information on the type of memory supported by your computer, see "Memory" on page 91.

DDR Memory Overview

DDR2 memory modules should be installed in pairs of matched memory size, speed, and technology. If the DDR2 memory modules are not installed in matched pairs, the computer will continue to operate, but with a slight reduction in performance. See the label on the upper-right corner of the module to determine the module’s capacity.

NOTE: Always install DDR2 memory modules in the order indicated on the system board.

The recommended memory configurations are:

A memory module installed in connector DIMM connector 1

or

A pair of matched memory modules installed in DIMM connectors 1 and 2

or

A pair of matched memory modules installed in DIMM connectors 1 and 2 and another matched pair installed in DIMM connectors 3 and 4

NOTICE: Do not install ECC memory modules.

If you install mixed pairs of DDR2 400- and 533-MHz the modules function at the slowest speed installed.

Be sure to install a single memory module in DIMM connector 1, the connector closest to the processor, before you install modules in the other connectors.
