Your computer supports dual-channel RDRAM RIMMs in 64-,128-,256-, and 512-MBcapacities. See "Computer Memory Installation Guidelines" for instructions you must follow when installing memory modules.

To locate the memory sockets on the system board, see "System Board Memory Components." To locate the memory sockets on the optional memory riser boards, see "Memory Riser Board Components."

To reach the maximum 4-GBmemory total, you must install the optional memory riser boards and use eight 512-MB modules that each have a maximum of 16 memory devices. See "Memory Module Label" for the location of the label on a module that identifies the number of memory devices it contains. You can also determine the number of memory devices installed through the System Memory option in system setup.

NOTE: The computer does not support RIMMs with six memory devices.

NOTE: The optional memory riser boards only support PC800 memory modules.
